Thanks! Yeah, looks like they are AWOL as you say. It is a shame, I really loved what I saw in their API, I guess i will wait a bit longer and if not response move on with other service, any suggestions?

hahahaha, awesome!

nice, will check it out!

haha, you know, i also listen to a lot of classical music while coding, but sometimes you just need something more...up? or not so complex...

yeah, techno/electronic is a common choice, right now i'm listening to Chillout, but it not always work, thanks for your input!

yeah, i figure haha, thanks! will check it out

As many here never heard of it before but it looks like an awesome service and looks like they have an active community, wondering what went wrong? anybody? and again what was their monetization approach? We can all learn from that.

hehe, ok ok, now you are comparing meth with DMT, awesome, LOL

"drugs" ....hmmm... I assume you haven't done your homework about Ayahuasca. Shamans in south-america call it "the medicine", and the Ayahuasca ceremony is a very serious one. You can search for studies and stories (all over the internet), the reported results are usually far more helpful than any other traditional treatment. We use "drugs" every day, it is just a matter of using the right one for the right reason.

I would recommend you to grab your saved money, get a plane to south america and try Ayahuasca in the amazonian jungle, you will find purpose.

Awesome stuff, thanks! Will give it a try really soon.

Thanks, this is awesome info! I passed it to my designer, he will find it even more useful.

Awesome!! It remains me the UI of Trello boards which is pretty cool IMHO

Postman is a great tool, i cant imagine developing applications nowadays without it.

As long as you can sleep well ...

2. Agreed, so we leave the numbers along, but some spacing won't harm.

3. Right, not always, but in this case i think it will, things will get more readable.

4. Well, i think the current colors doesn't make the site specially readable, not that it makes it unreadable, just that it doesn't specially help with readability.

7. In my experience if you put a lot of content on top of each other with almost no spacing people will just get lost, luckily HN's audience is not the common folk, but does that justifies this?

8. I don't think adding a character counter or just a message letting you know will overflow the cognitive load, and the user hitting submit to find it out is just wrong IMHO.

9. Hmm, tables are the tables of HTML, <ul> and <ol> are lists of HTML.

Right, we all have done crawling and scraping, I even have my own framework build for it, man do I love that stuff... but if you think that's the right way to go about it we are just not in the same page.

I understand you like HN as it is, and i guess an idea would be to have optional themes, that will be more democratic.

Have you seen the HN HTML layout and CSS code?

I'm doing some research on previous posts regarding the HN interface, but judging by some answers i'm getting in this post i can imagine their fate, why plainly criticize instead of brainstorming about the proposed ideas and trying to get to a common ground? Maybe even some sketches done? (I'm working on mine as i write btw) ... according to you what are the aims and audience? I think you are implying you know the aims and audience better? can you please share? I'm part of the audience as well...

Sorry, it wasnt my intention to be presumptuous, just wanted to get your attention and looks like i have, so mission accomplished! :) I understand minimalism is a feature and actually is one feature i love, as you can see i'm not proposing getting rid of the minimalistic look and adding lots of easter bunnies everywhere or anything, i'm just focusing on readability and the most basic things, wouldn't you agree HN can benefit from this?

Thanks for your reply, I just fixed the formatting of my question, still think that patching with more newlines is uncool though. Also, mine is more a proposal than a question...

ooops, and what about the auto-formatting of the posts? look how all my newlines were removed :| I know, i guess i could have used some HTML tags there, but really?
