It needs some polish: The tags should not be above the "tag" label. "Like" should be on the left of the article title (similar to upvote here). The line underneath the title should be vertically aligned with the title.<p>"Welcome" should not be there at all. To the left of "Join" might be a good idea. Your moto should be under your logo, at the very least in the same area (the header).<p>The drop-down of the search has a scrollbar even with no results.<p>Your overall color palette might need some tuning (too much darkness/contrast for my taste).<p>Unfortunately your site broke half-way through, more when it comes back online!<p>I hope you had fun building it, it's the most important part!
The first thing I spotted was that full domains weren't showing next to the links, so for example, story 3 is currently:<p><pre><code> Hosni Mubarak has resigned (co.uk)
</code></pre>
Showing just the last two sections of the domain is clearly unexpected behaviour. :) The intention is clearly "TLD plus one more section", but not all TLDs are as short as ".com".<p>This reminds me of the difficulties with cookie domain validation - Mozilla actually contains a hardcoded list of top-level domains: <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Public_Suffix_List" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Public_Suffix_List</a><p>So you could either copy that, or just show the domain in full.

You should allow anonymous submissions until you build up a decent amount of content. Change the green. Use only one font. All the text should be slightly smaller.<p>Are you applying for the reddit job?<p><a href="http://blog.reddit.com/2010/08/reddit-is-hiring.html" rel="nofollow">http://blog.reddit.com/2010/08/reddit-is-hiring.html</a>
I'll take the opportunity to remind people about my Hebrew HN-like site: <a href="http://bitorama.com" rel="nofollow">http://bitorama.com</a><p>OP: care to share some info about the tech behind the scenes?
Is there a script ready anyone recommend for alike website as HN ? Got to design one about another subject and do not code at all. ;-) Thanks for your insights.
seems a bit garbled. also, the site renders awkwardly on an iPad. while I see the connection with HN - barely - you've got a ways to go. keep at it though!
