Come on you guys, that's a bit harsh. Let me see if we can make something else link to HN for you.
Edit: ok, the Y logo now links to back to HN's home page.
Don't know if you check these 5 days later, but you never reverted this change.
Yeah, I appreciate the net neutrality support but the lack of a front page link has made browsing very annoying today.
Isn't that kind of the point? One day of annoyance to educate people that aren't familiar seems like a decent trade-off. Then again, the HN community is probably the one community that is sufficiently well-versed enough in the subject to not need the reminder.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm, this took me literally 3 seconds to route around using CMD+L and typing "news." and hitting enter. I'm all for good UX but this seems supremely picky.
I apologize for not having CMD on my iPad.
You do have a finger you can use to tap the address bar though.
Or the back button?
As I already wrote in my first comment. And now?
It's really annoying on mobile. Fortunately, my Firefox already has HN on the "quick dial", so it's two taps for me - address bar and quick dial link.
This has been working as a great alternative-noprocrast for me today.
