Like to see HN but for specific specialties. Still, you might want to learn from HN's design and keep the front page nice and compact with smaller fonts and minimal whitespace. Even on a mobile device I can view 12 headlines at first glance on HN. On this site, the header is enormous and I can only see 3 headlines on first paint. Drop the "Today's Headlines" altogether and minimize the size of the navbar.
- exposition 3y agoThanks for the feedback! I’ve reduced the font size so it should be easier on the eye. Improving the UI is on the top of my list.
- GordonS 3y agoHmm, I wonder if the HN folks have ever thought about doing "spin offs", like Stackoverflow did with the StackExchange network.
- jacquesm 3y agoIt's been tried, but non every really took off except for lobste.rs, and even that has only a very small fraction of the traffic that HN carries. There was a period when every few days there would be a 'HN for 'X'' post.
