Having used it myself, I see the tell-tale signs of Claude using the /frontend-design skill. Good work! I haven't yet had it give me something I actually like, but this is good. Also very clever idea! I approve :-)

Suggestion though: The text is really small and impossible to read at regular zoom. I had to zoom it to 200% to be able to read it. I'd suggest increasing the default text size

Love the summaries, I must say some stories I haven't considered interesting seeing them in the original HN view only caught my attention after my eyes landed on the summary. At the same time, I very much dislike the layout. Masonry-style layouts, at least to me, feel more "artsy" than practical. Multiple rows being displayed at once, with the most crucial information being chaotically all over the place instead of a…

I think the layout _wants_ to look like a newspaper, but just doesn't quite end up looking like one. where a newspaper may have longer columns mixed in with shorter articles, this one has mostly short articles that then don't quite align. But hey, good luck to this project!

One big thing with the news paper is that there was a larger main story that worked as a visual anchor and the columns/subsections could be placed freely on the edges as necessary

I've noticed that Claude always defaults to really small text. They need to train readability into it.

Indeed!

Why is the text one long paragraph? Makes it very hard to read?

This was the natural length of a paragraph before the emergence of engagement driven microblogging.

It's not about the length l. The point of a paragraph is to convey one idea. Some of the paragraphs don't do that.
