- xixixao 13y agoNo, there is everything about HN rather than the horrible UI. If you start new HN, go ahead and fix at least that. Make it a responsive site (among other things). I am sure the financial sector would appreciate that more than the 90s feel of this website.
- Houshalter 13y agoI like the minimalist UI, but a lot of the things seem broken. Reply doesn't work if you take too long to make a comment, the "next page" button often doesn't work, the reply button sometimes doesn't appear, the upvote button disapears when you press it so you can't take it back, there is no inbox, no way to collapse threads, etc.
- rfnslyr 13y agoI wonder if people would be interested in an HN style site, but one that is fantastically designed, and scales to all sorts of media (phones, tablets, desktop). I think that's what it needs. You can't simply download the news.yc, make a new colour header, give it a name, and then set it off into the net. I think you need to distinguish yourself and really just use news.yc as a base to build on.
