As far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with its UX.

It works, you can upvote / downvote. It's simple, doesn't need tonnes of JS to run. It's fast.

What do you think needs updating?

The only possible thing I would think about changing is favouriting a post. It's not obvious to me that you click the the x minutes ago part to get to a screen where you can favourite.

It is true that it is simple and gets the job done. I was wondering if it would be better with a more Product Hunt like experience.Also the search is at the very bottom, too me some time to locate it. Also , getting to a user's submissions take multiple clicks. There is a lot of real estate on the user profile that could have been used.

I highly prefer the way HN is now over PH. If they made those changes, it'd be worse in my personal opinion, not better.
