Hacker News Reader

I'm downloading it to try in a VM, but this website has almost 0 information on it. Where are the screenshots? FAQ? Where is any information about what this is or why I should use it?

The amount of time it would take to add this info must be a pittance compared to the dev hours they put into the OS!

There's a little more in the wiki entry for Mezzo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzo_%28desktop_environment%2...

Looks like it challenges elements of the desktop metaphor. The white paper (from 2005) on the ideas behind Mezzo explains a bit more: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/voyager/docs/MezzoGreypaper.pdf

I remember Mezzo from that time. I found the ideas interesting but I couldn't understand why they couldn't plug them into an existing WM via plug-ins.
