In the words of Steve Jobs: "That is really ugly, and you're fired". It has that failed Web 3.0 look. More rounded corners, excessive margin, but less content per page. One commenter pointed out its easier on mobile, but that can be resolved with the existing style. Please, think of the children.
> but less content per page This is why engineers are not designers. Left up to engineers, every pixel would be crammed full of "content", all at 11px font.
Nice! The live update is sick! What would make me use this instead of news.ycombinator.com every day however would be: - the ability to hide stories you've already read (some box to tick like a todo list) or are not interested in.

The downside of both these clients is that you can't login or post using them.
