A comment on Hacker News Design Is Ugly.

Sorry. I disagree.

The only thing I'd change is to put the flag|hide|etc as prefix icons so I can get 1 headline per line with minimal vertical spacing. This gives about 60 headlines per page and the highest "headline density". In other words, one headline per line.

I want information, not scenery.

Did you miss that this whole article is satire?

In fact, I did.

I have been tempted to write a program to fetch the hackernews headlines and eliminate the useless cruft so it hit one of the things I find annoying.
