This site isn't actively developed, and hasn't been, as far as I know, since it was established in 2007.
This is intentional. I forget the specific rationale, however.
So no, to answer your question (though I'm not pg), it likely won't be fixed.
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoI'm assuming the minimalism and hackish nature was deliberately chosen to weed out the lowest common denominator and cater only to the niche HN targets.
- supersystem 13y agoThat can't be right? Last time I heard they were all about inclusion by being a gateway.
- qbrass 13y agoThe rationale is that the value provided by fixing the problems is less than the cost of doing the work. This particular problem isn't going to cause tons of people to leave, and fixing it isn't going to cause tons of people to join. Unless someone does the work for free, or manages to get a large portion of the current users to quit over the issue, there's no reason to expect it to be changed.
- pg 13y agoActually we change things almost daily.
- umanwizard 13y agoAny recent examples? (Just curious, not trying to debate you)
- diminoten 13y agoCan you explain where I got this impression, or am I completely out in left field?
- pg 13y agoYou're probably judging from the site's appearance, which doesn't change much.
