Now HN’s UX can finally be decent.

The team will have to wait for a new header and textarea specs to fix the rest of the jank.

This site is so awful lol. Why don’t they update it?

Where does HN use POST for safe operations? I can't think of any.

Comment submission isn't safe, so QUERY can't be used there. And it doesn't suffer from the problem anyways, since HN returns a 3XX on successful submission, so refreshing doesn't show a warning.
