Hacker News Reader

Loading animation in the beginning, I'm bored already. After loading, it just looks like some clickbait buzzfeed or auto-generated "read these 5 articles more, please" because of the big pictures set in a grid.

Thanks for the feedback. We are playing around with different layouts to see what people like more, so far the big picture layout isn't exactly what we are looking for but we are still working on it. I'm wondering if you actually read the article titles or if you just closed it down before noticing any of them?

I did not read them, no. Just went back and did, nothing special. Same like every website (this is not criticism, although I don't like clickbaity titles in general, like "Xi Jinping has run into the one thing in China he can't control".

Grid layout is still shit, It makes it harder to skim and keep track of where you were.

hopefully your site takes off! i felt like he was a little too harsh, the site does look a little too simple maybe that could put some people off

Thanks, man. I want to keep it super simple, no distractions. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I have a vision and I'm working towards it. Glad you stopped by.

Yep, his site sucks. Basically reminded me of what digg looked like after v4 with its "new digg" thing once the users were gone.

Thanks for the honest and brutal feedback.
