The main things I dislike about HN:
* Comments are allowed to get too wide for easy reading.
* OP text color is too uncontrasted from the background.
Other than that, I don't see a reason why it needs a revamp.
- repsilat 14y ago> * OP text color is too uncontrasted from the background. IIRC this was intentional - the low contrast was meant to make people keep their message to the point instead of posting screeds of text in "self posts". If you want to say something meaningful you should host it off-site, if you want to discuss something with the community you should follow up in the comment thread. I don't have strong feelings either way, though I do tend to select the text for better contrast when it gets long.
