Much better, the old layout always seemed a bit "broken", thanks.

Last summer, I wrote HN Showcase to help the community browse "Show HN" posts. Over the past few months I've received a lot of awesome feedback. I spent the past few days polishing the project and added new features. Here are the big changes in v2: more polished look, infinite scrolling instead of paging, search, share individual projects, and performance improvements. Feedback welcome!

Awesome! But I think I like the old layout better due to the darker contrast between the information header/footer and the thumbnail- stands out more, easier to distinguish. Infinite scroll is a nice addition :)

Thanks! The original darker theme was intended to make the thumbnails stand out, but I didn't know if people found it useful. Once I get some more feedback for this version, I may tone down the brightness for the next update.

Thanks! Here's a screenshot of the previous version: http://i.imgur.com/PeGXp.png

i agree then - infinite scroll is much more of a hook. seeing all those page numbers would overwhelm/disengage folks like me.

I really like the redesign. I've been a user of your site since it launched and enjoy visually browsing Show HN posts. Great work!

Really nice idea. I never used V1 but looking at the screenshot I think the darker colours are nicer. If it's not too much trouble maybe you can add a Dark/Light Theme option, like arstechnica.com for example.

Great job nonethless :)
