[Which LessWrong had a better design?]{1.0}{2.0}{Results}
And help me fix this, please. Thanks!)
Do tell why your chosen design is better. I like the current design because
Familiarity
Doesn’t have a width limit? (Either it was fixed or firefox being firefox)
Neutral points:
Maybe taking time to get used to the new design because new != bad, but new != good either. My guess is that new systems can be intuitively bad at first but giving them a few tries isn’t unreasonable.
Good points/improvement suggestions
Removed the sidebar, but now a significant amount of whitespace is taken by the “recommended reading”, “top posts” etc. Move them to the top of the category, instead of the left.
Move the “recommended reading” part down—most of the time people will scroll down to get the new posts, might as well save that effort.
Currently, posts are in this format:
Post Title
X days ago / Author name / Total points / <<<<<<< number of comments at the end of the universe

Currently, posts are in this format:
Combine the post title and the date, author name and w/e into a single line. Also, possibly add sort by comments. Handy picture; functionality is already in. Decrease the width of the window to see it
More later(?)
