I agree with your larger point but in a different way — Hacker News is not defined by UI, but community. I’m sure that there is a Hacker News for auto out there already, I’d guess it’s a myBB forum.

That's an interesting thought though; does the UI of HN help to foster this community in any way? I would argue it absolutely does given the amount of people I see (myself included) that hate designs like the new Reddit, for example. I would then argue that the UI of HN does indeed play an important role in defining it.

I strongly believe so, and am almost surprised that this is debated at all.

For anyone who are interested, I created a small project awhile ago called HelloBox to help those who want to create "HackerNews for XYZ". https://www.hellobox.co

That looks very interesting, is there a demo or live site using it anywhere? I don't see one or can't find one, thank you.

I fail to see the connection to the "big corps" here, nor being allergic to the truth. This is about being nicer, as a human being. Becoming more empathetic towards a person who is showing their product for the world to see for the first time. Of course it may have perceived flaws. Do you choose to beat the person for doing it that way, or do you want to offer gentle advice in order to help them? The motive behind th…

really? at big corp people talk behind each other’s backs about how shitty each other are or another team is but never confront people directly until shit has hit the fan and someone is going on a permanent vacation

I get what you're saying, but being deceitful / being nonconfrontational / sugarcoating stuff is a completely different matter. You can be direct, while being nice.

It seems a lot of people think that if you have to confront someone or tell the truth, you can't be nice. That is pretty sad.

You can be nice, and you can tell people what you really think. It is 100% possible.

It is about how you word it. It is about putting in some effort to take care of others' feelings. I.e. being caring and empathetic.

It's not just you. I must be old too.

We need to own this and say HN design is far superior vast majority of web design out there. It has nothing to do with us getting old and it only gives excuses to people to not be inspired by it.

You're right. It's really as simple as labeling buttons. The information you want is clear and concise with no distractions and no fluff.
