It's remarkable how unchanged the community feel has been on HN -- those headlines would not be out of place on today's front page if you change the company names and tech stacks a bit :) Doesn't seem like there's been an eternal September moment in the past decade and a half (like Reddit's push for mobile adoption, for example). Really a testament to the mods' consistency, thanks @dang!

View on HN

Dang is a key factor in the success of HN, no doubt about it.

Another part is the consistent website design, it helps in focusing on the essentials, i.e. the articles and the discussions.

And last but not least i try to be the best I can when posting here.

The consistent design is what's holding HN back. The worst is when the top comment has so many replies, the first page is only reactions on that comment. Someone actually needs to sticky a comment saying there's a next page button with links to it. Oh and the links are unclickable on mobile.

Sure there are some tweeks that could be made. I'll take what we have currently though over having a designer decide what we really need is something like new Reddit.
