Item — HN Reader

Thank you for the feedback. Noted down the feedback. I agree with you regarding the extra information. I will probably make it on hover. The title might be necessary, because it's not always visible in the screenshot. Regarding the refresh topic i want to have it for the people that want to keep the tab open, and always get the new news, but would be a good idea to have it optional.

If you wan to contribute, you can use the https://github.com/valentinvieriu/visual-hacker-news ( still old version there )

Thank you

That was my first assumption but I am now tempted to say you should fully invest in your concept. Drive a complete behaviour change from choosing stories based on the title to choosing stories based on the actual content, its design and being able to skim the first few paragraphs which lets you judge writing quality and intent more than a title.

If the title isn't visible on the page, so what? It clearly wasn't important to the designer. The focus on titles is perhaps a weakness of HN, not a strength. This means you should be delighted to get rid of the title and anything else that becomes an obstruction to skimming real content presented as the designer intended.
