This is cool, but it lacks any sense of priority beyond ordering (maybe a feature?), but for most news consumers having a clear hierarchy of important vs. less-important is desirable so I don't know if this qualifies as "best-designed" from an informational standpoint.

This isn't a very HN answer, but https://www.nytimes.com (on Mobile) is very attractive and usable. It's just pretty.

There're ads if you don't block them, but they frequently have excellent visual and interactive stories.

The desktop site doesn't do it for me though, I think it's like a paper-legacy layout

Edit: also, https://theoutline.com/ it's fun, and there're cool interactive elements

This one. Not the best design, but it works. HN by premii[1] works too.

I just like something that reads easy on mobile: I find substack blogs good for that. Keep it simple!

If the site doesn't transmit any sensitive data, it does not need HTTPS.

Agreed, but it does open the door to MITM and tracking.
