It uses table layouts and has no skip links.

Sina is great, it's a shame the device output is so much louder than his microphone in the video.

I didn't hear him mention the lack of skip links on HN's home page (skip links are more for sighted keyboard users than blind screen reader users like him), I did hear him mention that the stories on the home page are not headings. Yes, a screen reader can navigate link to link but there are ~7 non-story links between each story link so being able to navigate from story to story as headings would be really helpful and semantically accurate.

Root, parent, prev and next are all skip links aren't they?

Or do you mean on the front page?

Curiously those are all aria-hidden.
