I didn't mind it. I don't know if i'll use it regularly, but it loaded quickly over mobile data for me. Lots of times stories I click on from here will take a while to load. It was nice to get a preview of the articles that loaded relatively quickly without having to open a new tab and wait.

Huh? It loaded instantly for me in FF Win64 over residential cable modem on a 5 yr old mid-range PC.

I actually appreciate how they approached their aggregation. It's pleasant to the eyes, is readable, and adds some visual interest to the feed. Little excerpts and thumbnails better help me decide whether or not I want to click on a link.
I don't think information density (in actual space) is as valuable to me as it is to you, though.

Agreed! I like the UI. The snippets aroused my interest in the actual content linked a lot more than a bland (and often misleading) title.
These days I often scroll past pages of hacker news without clicking on anything. I used to check out the comments often. But now no longer. The snippets seem revitalize the site for me a bit.

There's some harsher comments here, and it's one of my larger fears when posting anything to HN. The technical crowd can be unforgiving at times.
I loaded the site on desktop, I liked the visual arrangement a lot -- it's a clean/fresh aesthetic.

Shame self-promotion of my Hackerbot app for iOS.

How do you get to the comments from your page? I couldn't figure it out.
Edit: I ironically chose a link with 0 comments. So let me amend that: You should indicate when a link has no comments. :)

I actually really like what you have done. I like seeing the first paragraph of the story and the images. Loads pretty fast when I'm at home on wifi
The current HN already adapts well to mobile. Though, I suppose some may prefer the more modern aesthetic presented here.
I'm curious, how do you get the descriptions from the blog posts??
Holy crap this is beautiful on my phone! Great job!!!
wow... really nice!

Also drop the google analytics & addthis trackers man. If the main site doesn't need it then your <1000 hits per month scraper don't need them either.
