Am I the only person who spent a minute trying to scroll, trying to click, switching to a different browser, thinking the site was broken, checking back at HN to see what people said, and only then happening to mouse over the title and seeing that it got an underline and was a link?


Yes, but add touch-only device with no hover state indicator.

Without this comment I would have had zero ability to discover that interaction was required.

Could you share how many times your comment was upvoted?


Over 40 so far, so I'm definitely not the only one :-/
