Hacker News Redesign

I've seen a couple of redesigns of HN in my time and I have to say, your redesign is by far the best I've seen of any HN redesign. You've obviously put a lot of thought and…

I do a lot of website critiques for others and thought I'd take a look at your redesign. Here is a quick run-down of my thoughts and a few suggestions. The Y-meter is visually…

The Y-meter isn't very useful to me. Respectfully, I don't care about an abstract graph, nor about having to remember point ranges for its various states. I care about the actual…

1. Hard to grasp concept of Y-Meter as a new user, and even for those in the know, it's a visual overload. Numbers provide greater clarity. 2. The white is hard to read, because…

Some thoughts: - The Y-Meter is inconsistent, why is 50 votes half the filled in space whereas 400 is the full space? - The comments are really far to the right. I often read the…

This post was posted in #startups. Nice effort. A larger font is definitely something HN needs (considering a significant amount of HN readers are 30y+)! It is difficult to…

I like it, here some few points though. - Time ago is important when you are checking out the "new" items on HN - Domain from where the article came from, seems to be more…

That big empty square in the middle of the point meter would be a perfect place for the comment count to go. That way it would be communicating both the rank and activity in one…

The text on hilapeleg.io is nearly unreadable on Windows 7 with Firefox 30. The font is rendered strange, way too thin and uneven with gaps in the strokes. The link color is just…

The font you are using in the body of your blog post is bearly readable on my computer : http://i.imgur.com/5WJwMUC.jpg You should really use light weight fonts carefully.

I want this thin grey body font trend to die. This blog is really not easily readable, and I have a high DPI display

I never feel like any HN redesign is actually needed [1]. Although well presented (as is usually the case for unsolicited redesigns), it fails at acknowledging the primary…

I absolutely disagree. The comments on the far right is bad. The boxes are worse. I'm a numbers guy, visual aids like the box do NOT help, but a comment count below the article…

I think there are good takeaways here. I think having the comments-button contain the # is efficient, and I believe placement on the right side will encourage reading the article…

I actually really like the Y-meter, though I'm not a fan out completely hiding the numerical rating of the topic. It might be worthwhile to still show the number for those who…

Nice idea, I'd really miss the numbers for upvotes though

As a heavy HN user, I often skim the front page to see what's happening. The point/comment ratio often tells a lot about an article. First thing I don't like: the Y meter. Most…

Right or wrong I use the comment count as a proxy of how interesting the link is - moving it way over to the left breaks that.

I thought it was weird/annoying how the Y Meter fills up inconsistently. Sometimes when you go up a tier in points, the bar extends 1 unit (half a side) and other times it…

I find the Y-meter a bit gratuitous and not very readable. For a better solution that works right now, check out HN Colors:…

Of all the Hacker News redesigns and variations I have come across, I still prefer the Georgify extension for Chrome. It's 99% original Hacker News with Georgia as the default…

To this day, i still find the HackerNews+ (or simply HN+) chrome overlay by @jarques quite awesome. It has a Google-esque look to it and does a great job in keeping the overall…

Most comments are focused on the y-meter... and I understand why: it's the most different from the current page and is visually complex so it draws attention. I'm also not sure…
