On a 4k screen at 150% DPI scaling on Windows, in FireFox, I can see 30 items without scrolling on the current layout for <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/">https://news.ycombinator.com/</a> On this proposed format, I can see ten. I believe the existing page is definitely more dense than it needs to be, but I don't think migrating to so much whitespace that it's 30% of the information that it was is a good ratio. I think I'd be happy with anything over 20 readable without scrolling on a new format.

I'm guessing they were talking about Harmonic[0] as I cannot find anything relevant either through search (DDG) or Play Store called "Harmony" for HN.

It's worse than a "complicated broken mess". It doesn't work at all on iOS 14.3 (iPhone). It's just stuck displaying some glowing squares. There is an increasing number of websites which are becoming broken on iOS 14.3. https://thesaurus.com is another example; it used to work fine, until a few months ago, when they pushed a frontend update that now results in an "Unexpected application error"; not even partial functionality, only the error message is displayed. I find revolting this culture of mandatory technology upgrades that add no real value.
