While i have to admit, from all the alternative frontends i have seen over the years (and there have been alot) this is by far the best.

Tho as many others mention, one of the great things on hackernews is the minimalism / simplicity - and i have to admit its one of the reasons why i always like to go on hackersnews. Just a simple textlist, easy to read, no visual clutter.

Tho for people that like a more colorfull/stylish layout this might be a good alternative

For me, I think the lack of more generalized appeal of the interface is a net benefit, because it limits its appeal to only those that are most interested in the content. When it becomes too nice, and the audience too large, it will probably lose the thing that most of us are here (as opposed to reddit) for.

So even though I really like (and will bookmark!) this new interface design, I hope HN proper never changes.

It is ironic that the people responsible for most of the UX cruft on the internet (i.e., us programmers) prefer such minimalism in their interfaces.

I like the minimal interface, gives an old.reddit.com vibe. HN is horrible to use on mobile though. Everything is tiny, difficult to tap I miss tap every 3 taps

Try using octal as a hacker news client. I recommend it
