A: The "..:" & ":.." everywhere are kinda distracting to me. If they hold any significance, it is lost on me.[1] B: Are "Hacker News", "/r/programming" etc search results? Trending topics that will be replaced when a search is made? It is hard to tell since it is not functioning. C: The search placeholder is also confusing. " ..: Nuuton :... /category !description" Again, does "..: :.." have any significance or is this like having "google" as the placeholder in their search field? Is "/category" intended to tell the user they can narrow a search to a certain sub-reddit? D: Are you trying to brand your product through the search field placeholder? Put your brand/ logo somewhere in the green area instead. You loose all branding when a query is entered into the search field.[2] Hope I'm not coming across as mean, I think the items I listed above will be some stumbling blocks to new users interacting with your site.
