Kudos. Not in the biotech space myself, but I've bookmarked for a rainy day. I particularly enjoy the UI. Arrow keys work to navigate posts (comment section). Enter works to launch URL. Sexy.

#32Probably not something you should care about, but this site doesn't load at all in Konqueror.

#33I'm not a big fan of the mobile version, but that's no critique. I haven't liked any of the mobile HN versions; I just use the regular site and zoom in anytime I want to vote on a submission or comment.
My only suggestion: I'd like to see the number of comments in the sidebar, so I know which articles already have active conversations going.
Nice work!

It was forked from the monocle project https://github.com/maccman/monocle
Thanks to maccman for a great platform to build on

Have some faith and submit it as its own story. [edit: is this it https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7399336 ]
Yes. And by the way, I understand your comment. I really should have shared a more thoughtful response about this project before mentioning EN.
I don't think I'm that insightful, but thanks. I get the feeling we need "related" tags or something.

#39There's a "hello world" to biotech, no doubt; extract some DNA from strawberries or explore the tiny world with a consumer microscope.
But then what? There doesn't seem to be much potential mid-tier work to be done in biotech. In contrast with software where there is a very visible ladder you can climb.
Most of the biotech work seems to be in research, not development (unless you own a huge firm)
Where does one go after they've exhausted the basics, and how can you make money off of this stuff without working in a expensive lab for somebody else?

#40This is great! Can anyone suggest a place where coders can reach out to people in non-tech industries and solve real problems for a change?
