Why Hacker News UI still look like 90s?

6•probeta•2mo ago
I understand its meant for simplicity, but guys aren't we in AI era now? I also know people have made lot of extensions and add ons to make it look modern, but what's stopping the admin to vibe code an elegant UI?

And look at the buttons, omg.

Cheers.

Simple and information-dense. No need to change it.
emmavis•2mo ago
I like it like that, its not too flashy
zippyman55•2mo ago
KISS. Keep It Simple Silly!

No large jpg images to load. Works on most platforms.

I would not mind a few more search options and an ability to flag items for later reading or to mute individuals. But, overall, it is fine.

> an ability to flag items for later reading

You can pander to aspirational intended later reading fantasy by using [favorite] for posts and same for individual comments (if you select on the comment time stamp).

You can unfavorite after reading or just grow a longer and longer list of get around to that later.

> or to mute individuals

Reasonably easy with custom filters on <favorite> afblocker extension.

zippyman55•2mo ago
Thank you.
asdefghyk•2mo ago
As long as it is not slow loading, prefer fast, no useless meaningless pictures like on lots media news sites. works different browsers and platforms OK , I like it
volemo•2mo ago
Because design ought to converge on some perfection, not change for change’s sake.
_wire_•2mo ago
It's not just the UI, this site is information poverty, trapped in some hackneyed idea of "news" that likely represents the tired and incestuous interests of the VC class... There are no ideas here and certainly nothing close to progress here. Which morbid climes suit me fine.
rijoja•2mo ago
leave then
nextaccountic•2mo ago
There are other UIs

Like this site https://hcker.news/

And this Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simon.harm...

AI era vibe coded elegant UI gives me fatigue already
JohnFen•2mo ago
Because it's the way people want it. The design is reasonably close to perfect for its use case. Information dense, little chrome, nothing fancy. This is the reason the UI hasn't changed. It's not because the admins don't know how to change it.

It works fine and your post is rage bait.

This page is 5.0kb and only has 6 other assets. those assets, after being cached, means you get a page load in less than 1 second. Every. Single. Time. This page would load well on a dial-up connection from the 90's.
