Pretty incomplete at this stage: lots of broken layouts, parts of the original HN theme showing up in odd places. Nice stuff though, I definitely found the Designer News' design to be interesting. However, after using this theme I feel like the current design provides a pretty nice density that I've grown accustomed to.

Yeah a few friends have mentioned they like the density, which is very reasonable. I personally find it easier to scan when content is more spaced out, but I may just include a settings page that will let you change layout density to your taste.

Also apologies for the things that are still broken, my original post on DesignerNews mentioned that it’s still a work in progress and I didn’t expect this many folks to take notice of it so quickly.

No worries: I think HN could use a bit of a clean up. Thanks for sharing.
