Paper HN

Wow. I thought this would just be gimmicky, but I kind of... almost actually like it better than the main HN page. Having text snippets from the first paragraph, and an image,…

I, too, am shocked by how much data I seem to think is in a blurb and an image. My usual HN headline triage time is reduced by a factor of 5 with this view.

Very nice. What I liked about it is that thumbnails to the article allows readers to skim through the list more quickly and still understand more clearly what they are about.

I love that your front page made your front page.

This post itself being on the front page gives a sweet Droste effect

pleasingly recursive instance of the site embedded in the site... because you're on the front page.

Fantastic. Surprised to find myself with cataracts at my age, HN is so much more readable as presented here, comparable in improvement to viewing it under dark mode. More…

Wow sitting at an outdoor dining table and just opened the link, looked like staring at an actual newspaper! Good work.

Fascinating! Just to keep the conversation going, I'll argue that HN's current format works much better for me. I appreciate newspaper formats when dozens of stories have roughly…

Pretty cool, but the format looks like literally every other news site now right? (title + image + read more) To me, the best thing about HN and Reddit is being able to…

You should find a better font and work a little on the proportions. Nice to see the images, a little more polished and I would use this instead of the normal HN website.

> The font is whatever you have as the default in your browser—if you don’t like it then set a better one :) The default serif fonts on most systems aren't the best choice for a…

Interesting idea. I couldn't open the site, though, because uBO blocked something like 50 domains and figuring which ones are actually needed would be quite an effort. Yes, my…

Really cool. No HTTPS, though? :)

The site is HTTPS—if you’re talking about the mixed content warning, I’m hotlinking all the images so it’s unfortunately unavoidable.

Are you planning to keep running it? I hope you do, I can definitely see it becoming my default home screen while browsing. It’d be cool to see if you can wrap up the rest of HN,…

Some sort of horizontal line between the articles would look nice and help with readability.

Thanks! I was inspired by looking at unim.press and wondering, “how hard would it be to put an extract from the page there instead of lorem ipsum?” (Quite difficult, it turns…

Thank you! One nit. On mobile I have to scroll left and right to read the titles. Otherwise, I love it

OMG, how very beautiful ! Is it fully automatic? Will it persist?

I know that the OP probably did the research, so I'm just going to ask : Isn't this possible with only CSS? I see each article ( section ) with position absolute and heavy JS…

-1 to images in color. BW images are way less distracting. According to your comment I think you might like https://hnews.xyz/ that I read when in mood of a "HN magazine". I'm…

I made something similar several months ago. Here’s the HN front page in the style of digg.com: https://rigg.now.sh/
