I prefer the existing one. What I like about existing one is how simple the titles are to read. They are strong contrast above everything else. Yours has icons that take away focus, and not as much contrast between the meta info etc.

It is a bit in similar direction like Old Reddit (good) to New Reddit (terrible).

For me, the only lacking feature of vanilla HN is dark mode. I wish they'd add that. Other than that, it's perfect.

IMO, Hackernews's value is the comment section.

Some things I wish it had while reading comments:

- keyboard shortcut to go to next/previous comment at same level (`j`/`k` a la vim?)

- keyboard shortcut to upvote a comment while it is selected

- memory of which comments I already read, so that when I come back to a comment section, I can navigate directly to the unread comments (useful for conversations that span multiple hours/days). Perhaps also styling read comments differently.
