Ask HN: Link to earlier post on visual design for hackers?

2 pointsTheBurningOr15 years ago3 comments

A few weeks back there was an article submitted on here by a guy who had a book-related app that he had been working on and had given it a substantial facelift with a few simple changes. I've spent the better part of the last half hour searching Evernote, Instapaper and Google to try and find the article, but to no avail. Does anyone on here recall the article and/or link?

For reference, the title was: Lessons Learned: A non-designer's attempt at a redesign

I found it by doing a Google search for:

I found that one a bunch of times in my searches. As you can see from my solution link (above) it turns out the issue was that the term 'book' and 'app' did not appear in the title, despite being central to the meaning of the post.
