Ask HN: Why doesn't Hacker News improve its UI?
- 10000truths 11mo agoWhat do you believe needs improving and why?
- adamredwoods 11mo agoHN is made for a specific audience, the minimal UI supports the idea of dense information without distraction.
- whobre 11mo agoIt’s fine. Why fixing something that isn’t broken?
- beardyw 11mo agoMaking that observation is an rite of passage on HN.
- jasonthorsness 11mo agoThe community can make whatever UI it wants, using the API: https://github.com/HackerNews/API https://github.com/HackerNews/API I wrote one for myself: https://hn.unlurker.com https://hn.unlurker.com Or there are various ways to restyle the main site with a browser script.
- BjoernKW 11mo agoHow would you suggest to improve it? In my opinion, for its purpose, UI - and UX - of Hacker News are pretty much close to perfect.
- Rendello 11mo agoIt's my favourite website UI, though I don't think every site needs to be this spartan. Every time I see one of those "Hacker News for xyz" posts, they always have a nice enough site but with huge margins and padding everywhere and miss the mark.
- markus_zhang 11mo agoThe only requirement from me is to add favourite button to the main page.
- muzani 11mo agoI'd like to see the gray body text become a little blacker, but that's about it.
