CtrlAltEngage··on Show HN: Re-Imagined Hacker News for this decade
Not a fan of this. There's a lot of fancy UI elements but the UX is actually pretty horrible. It's so hard to cut through the faff to get to the actual content.

Most of the real estate is given to something that doesn't actually matter, the stock images. Images are nice but the article titles are the real content and need to take pride of place.

I agree that Notion has a different direction, it just occurs to me that you could do that in something like Notion, which also has other features
CtrlAltEngage··on Show HN: A Tool for Rapid Learning Process (It's like Anki + Workflowy)
"Planning for your learning will be relentless as your knowledge (not information) will be manageable"

I think a proof reader might be valuable for your site, I've no idea what the above sentence, and several like it, really says.

Hi there, I take it you own/work for runalyze? I'm not saying it's only for running, just that it's aimed primarily at running. I can take some time to give some more detailed feedback if you're interested? Overall I do think Runalyze is really interesting and offers some great analysis

CtrlAltEngage··on Ask HN: How do you improve your creativity?
Make lists!

Time Clare has a good podcast designed for getting into creative writing that helps with this http://www.timclarepoet.co.uk/couchto80kwritingbootcamp/

It would probably be a helpful excursion for anyone looking to boost their creativity because the real way to improve creativity is to just do things that are creative, even if it's something as small as writing down all the names you can think of.

Other than that, just make sure to write down any and all ideas that come to you - DO NOT SELF CENSURE, this is the bane of creativity. You're initial ideas will be crap and that's fine. Have them, be proud of them. Eventually you will have better ones that you can build on.

CtrlAltEngage··on Ask HN: Companies that hire remote, but only in the US, why?
I'm guessing it's mainly about time zone management - working remotely in different timezones is a lot more difficult when they vary significantly. There's also the issue of "right to work" in your country to consider.
