Agreed. The design aesthetic actually works but the technical overhead in implementing is the problem. HN works so well because not only does it prioritize information density but it consumes less resources. The Reddit redesign pushes thumb

Although scratching your own itch is sound advice, it's difficult to assess whether's the market size is just you. I recommend being lazier on the finding the problem part since most problems already exist and the variety of solut
