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.
Gratuitous images by each story, slow enough to load that it benefits from a cutesy loading spinner, cookies for tailored marketing, email signup box after the 10th story, fat banner that uses the hamburger menu icon but doesn’t trust it to be communicative enough so also has “Menu” in text on the button... That’s...not a Hacker News for X.
Also I don't trust for a second that posts could have a thousand votes and no comment. The first impression is that the points are faked.
Hi all, I made this project to help myself stay up to date with automotive industry because I love cars and anything related to them. It gathers the latest automotive news from more than 20 auto portals. Allows users to submit articles, comment, and upvote. I got quite literally inspired by HN and was mindblown why such a thing does not exist for automotive industry. Also users can subscribe to a newsletter that deli…
Hey Peter, mind if I embed the feed in my automobile marketplace site? :)
A couple of things I really think would help: The password reset and login form leaks account info in the network response. You should return the same network response regardless of whether the user exists in the DB, instead of relying on the UI to communicate that. Logging into your site sends back the full account profile object, including the password 'hash', which appears to just be a Base64 encoded string. Fortu…

Firebase is easy to set up but pricey to scale and hard to migrate off of.
Firebase Authentication is free though, and very convenient to integrate off the bat.
The top submission says it has 14 comments, but then you click on it and it only has three. I also find it hard to believe that submissions on this site are already accumulating >700 points, surpassing most HN submissions. On top of that, there are few, if any, comments for every upvote. One submission has 728 points but no comments?
If you read that particular thread, you'll see that the only real comment is complaining about the use of a word that starts with the letter after M and before O. I think that some trolls have gotten to the site already.
You might want to consider that autonews.com is the url of Automotive News, a widely-read trade publication from Crain Communications. (I get access to it as I work for a Tier-1 automotive supplier). IANAL, but you probably will get in hot water if you keep using autonews.io, even non-commercially. (trademark infringement, cyber-squatting, and the like) (edit:sp)
What's are you doing differently versus r/cars over at reddit which already has over 2.3 million subs in their community?
/r/cars focuses primarily on performance ICE vehicles, specifically sports cars and some offroading. It seems like most subjects on OP's site cater towards EV's, hybrids and general non-enthusiast subjects. As a huge performance car enthusiast, there were only a couple links within the past few days that were of interest to me.

Not op, but seems like he's (potentially) creating a focused, niche community, maybe with better moderation. Or maybe he's going for the exact same thing. There's no reason to differentiate from what one subreddit does. Many of us don't like reddit.
I don’t see how it is very similar to HN beyond being a news aggregator.
They certainly don't have the same moderation abilities: https://autonews.io/article/99522953-788c-446f-a706-cd26e2c3... Edit: They fixed it! Nice.
