Lately I’m reading HN as a replacement for tv and newspapers, for world news.

I’m not saying HN is not fun anymore it’s just the value is elsewhere.

A guess is that slowly I’ll replace HN entirely. It’s too distractive and no essence is captured. Lobste.rs in contrast is a place where I go excited.

Completely off topic but I clicked through your profile (just to see if you were lobste.rs employee - (cynical I know))

Anyway, on your website, you have a 4 picture gallery with the selectors vertically at the side but it was a bit jarring as I'm used to those vertical selectors usually used to display for vertical scrolling.

Even ignoring the above, the photos transition horizontally which is even more jarring (when the vertical selectors exist).
