Hacker News Reader

Really? On my computer it's the exact opposite. The HN design looks like the font is around 8pt; the redesign looks like it's around 11pt.

View on HN

I opened up two, identical browsers (Chromium version 25) on my 27 inch IPS monitor. I opened up the redesign in one browser, and the regular Hacker News in the other. The redesign has visually, noticeably smaller fonts.

The real HN has 10pt titles and 7pt metadata, at least on my PC.

The redesign makes titles smaller and metadata larger, in effect making them the same size.

I think this is a bad change, because now there's little distinction between title and metadata.

I want to remove the metadata if I can. Would you agree that the titles and "comhead" (the domain name) should be the visually promenant part? My goal is to minimize on the meta as much as possible without removing the usefulness of it.
