The social media site Hacker News is a news aggregator, focusing on computer science and information technology. Its design is bare-bones but it has complex functionality for voting and discussions. The experimental interactive visualization allows the user to explore current articles of the platform. Comments are displayed chronologically for each article and nested comments are created in new interpretations of lists. The result is a typographic cyber punk reader that exchanges usability and conventionality for rawness and resistance against the common sense of usability and web standards. This project was developed with Florian Zia and supervised by Boris Müller at the University of Applied Sciences, Potsdam.
