"As HN grows, there is more interesting content added to it. What if there was a way to get this content that would be interesting to you, with less of the pain?"<p>Then for the average user the front page would consist of mostly annoyingness.<p>A shared front page is a Good Thing.  That's why PG never implemented the ability to hide stories a'la Reddit.<p>That said, this is cool from a technical standpoint.  :)<p>Off the top of my head, you should display more stories, display their point values, have the link go directly to the article, and have a separate link to go to the comments (and list how many comments there are).  If you can.  Bonus points for adding upvote arrows.<p>No, wait, don't do that.  Then people might use that instead of the main HN interface.
