I agree, but I think it's that small because otherwise, the justified text results in ridiculous spacing.
OP, consider reducing the number of columns from 4 to 3 (at least below very wide viewports), increasing the font size, and then also allowing hyphenation. I think the last will help a lot with the justification problem.
looks lovely, but can you borrow text styling and typography from a modern media website like NYT WaPo or some other major news outlet?
This would make it easier to read
Cool, but body font size is too small for comfortable reading!
OP, I love the font size as is, have multiple options if you're going to change things! Remember the users that loved things as they were!
I did increase it in the meanwhile from when that comment was posted.

Or have a button that makes the text left-aligned for easier reading.
I think that very much defeats the point of making it look like a newspaper.
Which might be fine? Since web pages are not newspaper sites one might say its just not the ideal way of presenting information.
This entire submission is styled to look like a newspaper. If you just want information go to news.ycombinator.com.
An overridden `.newspaper-copy { font-size: 1rem; }` works well.
Sounds like an authentic HN experience to me!
Cool, seems need some deduplication. Maybe when you turn to the new page, some items fall back.
Why is the text one long paragraph? Makes it very hard to read?
Because I'm telling the AI "summarize it to one paragraph".
Nice try at trying to get me to read the friendly articles ;)
I like the concept, the grid and the design. but the small text description is hurting my eyes.
Just made it a bit bigger.
oh this is sick; i wonder where the curly bits at the top and bottom came from; based on the svg artifacts it looks converted from a raster
Tricks of the trade :)
Previews are v slow to load for some reason
i love it. would be cool to get the date lookbacks too - like this https://news.ycombinator.com/front?day=2026-05-22
Is it just me or is there something slightly weird about scrolling? Maybe font or color. Im on mobile.
Would be cool to see different column layouts too!
Yea -- it could use votes to pick a hero article, or change summary length.
hey that's pretty cool. I think I still prefer "distill HN" cleanliness though. What made you create this.
I didn’t make this lol; just something cool I’ve found
This page now contains itself.
Nice design, but I can't afford the $3.50 price of the cup of coffee, atm (◡︵◡)(◠‿◠)
this is now my new default for hackernews.
Now do clay tablets.
