    I looks really pretty, but it's bloated. The home page is 10 times the size of the original (630 kB vs 56 kB).

    And the code... everything is just divs and spans, instead of more semantic markup. Where are the lists, headings, and paragraphs? And tailwind classes everywhere — yuck. The beauty of HN is the structure is very regular, so that it would be extremely easy and efficient to style everything using element and descendent selectors, without having to put classes on every single element.

    The existing HN table markup is pretty crap also btw, but this isn't an improvement.

      I’m not clicking an X/Twitter link. That site is a cesspool. Why couldn’t you have just posted it directly for a Show HN? Linking to a tweet is weird.
