Two things I don’t like about Hacker News

Summary

Hacker News, despite its utility as an IT information hub, has a couple of design elements that can be frustrating. One issue is the "more" link's pagination mechanism, which generates a unique key for each page, preventing direct jumps and causing errors that force users to restart navigation if a session times out. Another point of dissatisfaction concerns submission management, where users lose the ability to edit or delete their own posts after a few days. These limitations can hinder user experience and control on the platform.

Hacker News is a very famous IT information hub. We can find many useful links about the latest IT news and fantastic technology demos. But there are two things I don’t like about Hacker News. Maybe some of you also have the same feelings.

1.  About the more link. Every time we click the more link to go to next page, there will be a unique key generated to produce the new page. It is a good security mechanism. Also it may increase pages views as we need to read page by page but cannot jump to one specific page. But one problem is that if I open a page and navigate some pages and I have some other things to do suddenly, then after I come back, I click the more link, an error message shows, this is quite annoying. Because I need to go over again one more time.

2.  The submission management. I submit a submission, after a few days, I cannot edit or delete the page again. Sometimes I want to delete a previous submission, but unfortunately I cannot.
