Another http://uigradients.com/ , but with some very, um, brogrammer-y naming decisions. I'm somewhat confused as to why this is on the front page.

It's on the front page because someone posted it to HN, and HN users decided it was interesting enough to vote it up.

I suppose I deserved that.

What I should have said, is that I'm a little disheartened that this is getting the attention that I would prefer go to a site like uigradients with better UX and a less divisive tone.

The solution to that is submit, upvote, and comment substantially on better articles and flag those you think are inappropriate. On balance, things should work out and improve. Help make HN the place you want it to be :)

“Obama’s resignation”...?

Resignation obviously can mean resigned to, eg "having accepted something unpleasant that one cannot do anything about"

Certainly, but I don't think that's the first interpretation of the word people think of when it's associated with the President.

I have noticed that, as HN becomes more popular, the "variety" of submissions making it to the top has definitely widened since my lurking years. I just chalk it up to a more diverse audience as time goes on. I'm not sure much can be done when the content is (for the most part) user curated.

Is there any easy way to share an egg? I showed this to my colleagues at work and was trying to share a particular egg, but couldn't spot anything clickable for this. Inspecting the HTML, it doesn't look like any of the eggs have ids on them that could be used as anchors.

The webflow ads have piqued my interest. A lot of nice little projects are shown on Show HN but I don't know if I've ever seen any to feature any sort of sponsorship right off the bat. Pretty clever to throw that in there. Do you have any lessons learned to share about the process behind it? (If it came from an easy personal connection just to show proof of concept, that's cool too!)

Maybe I’m missing something. But I don’t see any ads.
