@randfish and I were very inspired by HN. We understand the tradeoffs in terms of design (we're big reddit fans too).
Your observation that marketers (our audience) are different from hackers is dead-on.
With inbound.org we had some early debate around design. Candidly, I was more on the "lets make it like HN" (I write code every day) and he was more on the "lets do something creative and solve for our audience" (he has a much better aesthetic sense). We're still debating it.
We're also both entrepreneurs, so understand the importance of launching and just getting it out there.
Now, back to dealing with the technical issues we've run into tonight...
