On Reddit’s Beta Design
Posted in Design
First, here’s the beta version. I’d say the most annoying part is the huge score, despite it being generally irrelevant. In a list-style page like Reddit, being on the front page is indicator enough for an article’s quality, without us having to know its score. And mackstann sums it up for me:
..by making the “score” larger and bold and outside of the rest of the text. In my opinion, people shouldn’t need to care much about the score of a link. If the algorithm is good then the numeric score is irrelevant…
