This is why I like it. I've stopped going to a lot of other sites because they made their UIs too "modern" and reduced both the usability and information density so much that they stopped being useful to me.

So I’m happy they leave it as is.

Similarly I find old.reddit nearly perfect, though the way they crammed in multi-image support is a pain point for me.

I’m glad HN isn’t trying to follow random design trends.

Don't change.

The only meaningful improvement I would want is a dark mode, which they have steadfastly refused to provide.
