Wow, what a crappy interface. Close.

Judging by the lack of support for this post, I'll have to stand by my comment. The interface poorly displays a great amount of information; the creators need to play more videogames to understand why.

We see the limits of an upvote/downvote system. My comment is correct, but costs me "points" to say so because I didn't type three paragraphs justifying the obvious.

You were downvoted for two reasons. One, it's not civil. Two, it does not contribute anything to any discussion; it's conversational noise. Explaining what you mean is not "justifying the obvious". It's starting a conversation.

it's almost as if it's a skill game that rewards you with information...

True, I'm being cranky. Genuine feedback usually looks pretty cranky, I figure. Most people will close things that aren't immediately understandable.

But you see the problem in the other comments as well: it's "cool". Which, in the real world, usually translates to "unusable".

The author of the website isn't reading HN comments for feedback. Your feedback is better placed elsewhere.

I have to agree... if it didn't keep moving for so long it would be a big plus, for example.
