It's like the lessons from years of awful Flash UI's have already been lost to history.

Also, my browser history was a mess. I'm sorry but no, this has little value in terms of innovation or user experience.

interesting ideas, but not exactly sure what the goals of the interface are. what ideas inspired you to develop this UI ?

It looks like its a demonstration of his development skills:

"I'm looking for a creative team to work with and get payed to do what i love."

Edit: Given that he is trying to showcase his development skills it might be appropriate to be positive rather than snarky?

Personally, I wouldn't say it's 'innoavative.' The whole point of designing a UI is not to make things fancy and bounce around and look pretty. The point is to make something that's easy to use and clear. I don't think this site fits either.

It's nice looking though!

There was no scroll bar for the text in the right hand frame, although arrow keys seemed to work. Also my back button was broken and I couldn't return to Hacker News. (I'm using Opera on a Mac.)

I think there are interesting concepts in that UI (+ in the URL / split screen), but my overall feeling is that it's a bit hard to navigate and it misses some core idea, core theme. I think UI's should evoke a feeling of ease and simplicity and familiarity for a user to feel comfortable using them.
