Perhaps I'm the wrong audience, so feel free to disregard this feedback :)

I personally use Hacker News without JavaScript, and was expecting/hoping the same would work for autonews. But, alas. It gets stuck at "Loading..."

Still, wish you all the best with autonews, and hope you can build a tailored community of automotive enthusiasts.

Cheers, Robin

Hi, thanks for the feedback. In the long term, you will be able to click and see the user behind the submission. However it's still in TODO column atm. But will def add it as this feedback is so valid. Good shout about splitting the automated/submitted content.

I think I like the autosubmissions, sometimes it's silly that a story HN will definitely discuss has to be found and submitted by someone. There are certain sites one could arguably auto-submit to HN, though HN is popular enough to just not need it. Do make it clear which are auto-submitted though.

Will do.

Great website, you seemed to have worked hard on it. Some feedback if you don't mind it. 1. How about moving the domain of the article posted beside the post title (like HN)? This maintains the flow of reading. I read the post title and then I can see the source of the article on it's right. 2. You seem to have a separate URL for each post ( EG: https://autonews.io/article/99522953-788c-446f-a706-cd26e2c3... ) but I…

Hi, thanks for that! Noted.

Thanks, I was actually exactly thinking the same when I was comparing autonews.io vs HN. But I would have to compromise the images if I wanted to make it more concise, and I've decided not to.

You can keep the images, but just reduce all the white space. Also, I'd get rid of the cookie banner, as I didn't see cookies?

Thanks, someone else mentioned the cookies as well. Will have a look into whether I can remove that, as I hate the consent myself.

Thanks Robin. I have not even thought of running it without JS. Might consider in future. And thanks again! Hopefully it finds its audience.

One of the things HN gets right is in my opinion the classic basic design. I wish you would have recreated that.

What is the classic design of automotive? That’s the question to ask IMO. Paul Graham wrote about automobile design in an essay.

Do you think you could find the essay? I'd love to read it
