#12Sorting by date is a great idea, easier to keep up with than a list that randomly reorders every few minutes because of changing point values.

#14Well I like the original better I guess (nice to see a different design take though... I ain't hatin'). Guessing your alt. design would look cool in an ipad though.

I'm getting the same thing in Chrome. This way anyway it seems harder to read than the original.

#16Please add alternate row colors! I find it difficult to read a list of links on plain white background.

Considering HN's minimalist design (a good thing IMO), and the readership, it should be no surprise that we're seeing these "redesigns".
There are a few mobile apps for reading HN - also not made by Ycombinator.

#20I knew that the shapes in the orange boxes on the left were probably letters and numbers, but I honestly could not tell which ones they were (especially just looking at the top one, which for me right now is "6am"). I ended up copying and pasting the text into my address bar to read it. I'd suggest a different font. (I'm on Win7/Chrome Beta).
