Is this one scenario where perhaps you should reverse the order of the "tabs" along the top? Like put "Today" on the far right with "Yesterday", etc. following from right to left?
Or honestly ditch them altogether — adding "Yesterday" is more than enough. Who wants to go back several days to read old news?
Tho as many others mention, one of the great things on hackernews is the minimalism / simplicity - and i have to admit its one of the reasons why i always like to go on hackersnews. Just a simple textlist, easy to read, no visual clutter.
Tho for people that like a more colorfull/stylish layout this might be a good alternative
I suspect many folks here enjoy the minimalist Hacker News UI but I, for one, really enjoy what you've put together. It somehow makes me more interested in checking out stories/posts I might have otherwise skipped on the normal UI. I'll give this a spin day-to-day. What are your plans for this project?
(inb4 i think the herald is a very well done thing i just cant think of a reason why an article there is more interresting than on the normal layout)
did we hug it to death?
I'm always interested to hear more about the sustainability of alternative HN frontends... the initial time investment, ongoing hosting costs, etc.
Maybe it'd be worth doing the research to find out what the probability is of lasting longer than the domain renewal year, especially for those such as this offering the chance for users to invest additional value.
The saying, “If it ain't broke, don’t fix it,” comes to mind. I’m all for progress, but Hacker News's simplicity and density are its major features.
