I would like to see the list/content to be left-aligned.
Left aligned like the YouTube layout 5 years ago? Or left aligned compared to a second column?
It’s quite nice! I prefer it to the layout or DN to be honest. Less widgets around the news.
Actually what I like about HN too is the density. I wonder if you could tweak line heights here to squeeze in more content. Not as visually pleasing but with a site like HN news streams in so quickly that line density helps me skim quicker.
I tweaked it a bit last night to have a relatively higher density. Hacker News has an incredibly dense layout with 9px fonts, tiny touch targets (none worse than the comment up vote arrow on DN), and long stretches of text.
I've been using HN for a few years now and the density also causes me to skim and miss a lot of interesting stories. Having a breathable post that is more akin to product hunt, Facebook, or Reddit has helped me to explore more content. This is my experience while I have been using it for the past couple weeks.
Love it and prefer it to HN. Only item - I wish there was a dark mode.
Make fluid layout. I hate fixed centered layout.
