The long term vision (https://gearsyfounder.substack.com/p/informal-business-plan-filterhn https://gearsyfounder.substack.com/p/informal-business-plan-...) here is to provide you with a personalized feed. So that you could say things like "show me less posts about politics" or "show me more posts about front end web development".
But right now it's just a redesign of HN. I'd love to hear whether you guys think.
Notes on some design decisions I made:
1. Mobile design where it's easy enough to click things.
2. Larger font; more space.
3. Professional color scheme and font (from https://www.refactoringui.com/ https://www.refactoringui.com/ and https://practicaltypography.com/concourse.html https://practicaltypography.com/concourse.html).
4. Don't show the author or time since submission (it's visible if you hover over the karma or if you go to the show/comments page of the submission). The more stuff on the screen, the more it takes away from the content you truly want to see: submission titles.
5. Link to HN for features I haven't gotten to yet.
6. Make "More" link more prominent and visually interesting.
7. Otherwise lean towards keeping the original design and personality of HN.
