Comment on Ask HN: my website seemingly sucks, but I'm not sure why?

Comments

The titles on each item blend in too much, and my eye kept looking around for some idea of what I was looking at.

I'd also use alternating background colors for each item (like white and some light color) to help them stand out from each other. That's also helpful because people are used to alternating colors indicating a list of items (like in webmail and forums), so you can lean on user expectations a bit.

Other people have already commented on the copy.
