Hacker News Reader

Sorry, but i'm not sure i find your "readable" hacker news more readable than the default layout. Might be because I don't mind reading small text, and can't bear scrolling. Also find the font and color choices iffy.

That being said, I think it has some of potential. Maybe do a little user testing and get a little more feedback and iterate on the design?

It's definitely an on-going thing. Over the past week I've gotten feedback and kept working on it, changing things here and there. I finally decided that it's at a good enough spot to post on Hacker News and get even more feedback.

It's been a 50/50 hit on whether or not to use a sans-serif or serif typeface. At least that's the biggest type of feedback I've gotten thus far.

But yes, I'd love feedback on this.

I think I'm fairly ambivalent about whether a sans-serif or a serif is used, but I do think the font should be smaller.

Also, a less contrasting color scheme than red-grey

I agree, it's not really usable. That being said, if you would give settings, everyone could make their own style. That would be ace!

A settings menu is on my todo list. An easy way for you to customize the look and feel, fonts, colors etc.
