This is gorgeous. Makes me feel like I'm picking up an old news sheet. Forces me to read slowly from which I then enjoy the reading much more it's like difference of drinking a fine wine from a glass instead of a straw in the wine bottle.
Kudos to the author.
- lionkor 4mo ago> feel like I'm picking up an old news sheet except those were laid out by hand with intent, whereas this one just kind of dumps all stories on a masonry board and calls it a day. This is likely why reading a (good) newspaper feels effortless, whereas reading this "forces you to read slowly".
- ahmedfromtunis 4mo agoI'd say that that's a feature of modern-ish newspapers with "advanced" layouting techniques from early to mid 20th century. A news sheet from THE olden days (eg Victorian era), looks more like a wall of text, set as tightly -- an uniformly -- as possibly, which is not surprising considering the limitations imposed by the technology of the day. As for story selection, I think the collective hivemind of hn-ers would be a worthy substitute for an editor in chief.
