Aesthetic News TODO#

UI/UX Improvements#

"Report a Story" (Submit Redesign)#

• Rename "submit" to "report a story"
• Combine submit page and guidelines into one unified page
• Shorter, AC-style copy for posting guidelines
• Less Hacker News vibe, more aesthetic.computer voice

Comment Guidelines#

• Split current guidelines into two pieces:
  1. Story submission guidelines (shown on "report a story" page)
  2. Comment guidelines (shown when leaving a comment)
• Keep both short and in AC voice

Commits Link → Modal#

• Commits link should open a modal instead of navigating away
• Use same modal pattern as /at user page links
• Modal shows commit URL content

Copy Direction#

Current guidelines feel too "Hacker News". Rewrite to match AC tone:

• Playful but clear
• Concise
• Community-focused
• Less corporate/formal

Reference#

• Modal pattern example: /at user pages (see system/public/aesthetic.computer/disks/at.mjs)
• News API: system/netlify/functions/news-api.mjs
• News frontend: served via extension webview at news.aesthetic.computer
