Show HN: Hacker News front page in the style of a print newspaper
Wow. I thought this would just be gimmicky, but I kind of... almost actually like it better than the main HN page.<p>Having text snippets from the first paragraph, and an image, give me <i>waaay</i> more information as to whether something's interesting enough to click. This is <i>really, really</i> nice.<p>A bunch of random thoughts, hopefully it's useful feedback:<p>- I don't care about it looking like a "paper", but I love the grid view with image+blurb. So if you could make the top stories the same size as the rest, and make all images color, I'd love that even more<p>- I find both the upvote count and hours ago added really useful, if you could find a way to include those back in<p>- Some blurbs are 15 lines long, others are 2. Instead of trying to break at a paragraph boundary, I'd prefer if they were all just a standardized 6-8 lines. I'm glancing just to see what the article is actually about (for when the headline is vague), I don't care if it ends at a sentence ending<p>- The bold "topic" thing you click on to get to the comments is clever in whatever ML you use to select it... but unfortunately is also meaningless and kind of distracting, so I'd prefer it without<p>But for real... I think that if you focused on making this a "rich" image+blurb feed for HN instead of the newspaper thing, you could become a super-popular interface for HN.<p>Kudos!
