One of these days, I am going to write a custom front end.
The biggest problem I have with the front page these days is it gets clogged with junk science and low-effort news posts that produce entirely predictable flame wars that just aren't very interesting. There's about two dozen domains that account for 95% of such stories. I go through and flag/hide them now, and that works okay, but doing it automatically would be better.
