I don't think posting a comment counts as "web design". Nobody said "writing comments shouldn't be about words".

- sageikosa 13y agoThere is a "design" to this page. It just doesn't include pictures, videos, hover bars, animated banners, nor advertisements for weird tricks to lose weight. This site is about the flow of textual information. I like a usable application interface as much as the next guy, and am quite happy to see native interfaces (even if they aren't my beloved WPF ;-) rise back into prominence so that the hyper-text transfer protocol can get back to carrying hyper-text.
- BHSPitMonkey 13y agoThe people who built HN did the web design you speak of; Web design is not what users posting comments are doing.
- sageikosa 13y agoYes (except I am not speaking, I'm whispering). I never implied that posters and commentators were doing web design while using this site; I started with a comment on the dissonance of reading a statement refuting the web as a textual medium on a site that is effectively only a textual medium.
