> Design hubris is one of the world's most important problem.

Probably not, and I disagree entirely besides.

We shouldn't break design paradigms or expected behaviour. But design in UI helps us navigate and create a clear mental model . Have you ever tried orientating yourself in the Barbican?

View on HN

Design is extremely important, hence why it shouldn't be delegated to third-party service providers.

In theory you could implement HN and Reddit with the exact same design, but to me each of these hold value in different ways thanks to their differences. That's just one of countless examples.

I will build a system that will let you use both Reddit and HN using the same interface.

Will you try it?

I'll be willing to try it sure. Just don't steal my login details please :)

You can find my e-mail address through my website which is linked on my HN profile, or you can PM me on Reddit, same username that I use here.

If your system is public already you can simply link to it in a reply to this comment.
