Moreover, recent signees might benefit from seeing discussions about the UX of HN for a couple of reasons. It would help spread knowledge about the features that come with familiarity, and provide some explicit notions of reasonable UX design for new UX designers.
*What do you like about HN?*
I'm a fan of HN's user-centric design. I really appreciate the favorites feature in particular, specifically about how favoriting a thread brings you to your favorites. It's a very functional bookmark system.
*What would you like to see improved?*
There are only two features I wish HN had: a way to remove the karma counts, and some method to receive notice about replies to comments/submissions. There's probably a way to cobble these features together, it would just be nice to have natively.
Wishing everyone and your loved ones the best! Hope y'all are having a good day, and stay safe :)
