It’s fine. Why fixing something that isn’t broken?

HN is made for a specific audience, the minimal UI supports the idea of dense information without distraction.

How would you suggest to improve it? In my opinion, for its purpose, UI - and UX - of Hacker News are pretty much close to perfect.

  It's my favourite website UI, though I don't think every site needs to be this spartan. Every time I see one of those "Hacker News for xyz" posts, they always have a nice enough site but with huge margins and padding everywhere and miss the mark.

The community can make whatever UI it wants, using the API:

I wrote one for myself:
https://hn.unlurker.com
Or there are various ways to restyle the main site with a browser script.

What do you believe needs improving and why?

I'd like to see the gray body text become a little blacker, but that's about it.

The only requirement from me is to add favourite button to the main page.

Making that observation is an rite of passage on HN.
