#12Biggest problem that I wish someone would address is usability for mobile. About 1/3 of my time on the site is with my phone. Trying to select the Comments link instead of the article link is like playing Operation. Same for upvoting.

#13on the ipad text that is too long for one line is displayed partly in the next line, intercepting with new line text, and it is making me sad
Re: New Hacker News
#14Requires JavaScript while the current site doesn't which is an automatic black mark in my book.
Also having the comments link on the exact opposite side to the story link is annoying for me since I usually middle click the link and the comments link in succession

#15This is a continuation of a post I made a couple days ago, title "Hacker News Redesign". It was a link to a jsbin. This time, it's a Github Page, which means it can update, so check back often. I plan on accepting feedback on this redesign. I already took some feedback from the last post. This time, I can update the project upon feedback, and keep a dialog about the design. Hope you enjoy it! :)
Love it :) One minor nitpick is that the upvote arrows aren't in the same place when the post number is a bit bigger (i.e. hover over the arrow for post 9 then 10).

#16Comments don't load.
This is a redesign of the front page, not a functional clone.

#17I dunno why, but that font seriously hurts my eyes.
Header? It's because it's Arial Narrow. It's one of those differences that's fairly subtle (like not a completely different font family) but different enough that it completely stands out, so obviously, the worst.

#18On small pc screens the number of comments for long rows overlaps the number of comments in the following row.

#20A few criticisms:
- Zero-indexing the post list is cute, but I don't think it helps with clarity.
- On a similar note, you've made the ranking a lot more visible, whereas before it was information I largely ignored. I'm not convinced it's actually important information
- I prefer chunky triangles to thin arrows to signify upvotes.
- By moving the secondary post information (points, author) to the side, it's become less clear that it's not part of the title. I'd increase the typographic contrast here.
- Number of comments is probably the 2nd thing I look at after the title, having it over on the right makes it harder to visually associate the comments count + link with its submission. Zebra-striping could help, but I'm not convinced having it on the right is a good choice.
- You've dropped the ability to flag posts, is this deliberate or an oversight?
Overall I like what you're trying to do here, but obviously any changes to the design are going to be a hard sell.
