Okay, but that doesn't address that it still doesn't have faces on face cards, different numbers of suit icons on each card, etc. There are off-the-shelf stock photo sets that make it easier to tell the difference between the cards.
See the thing you don't get here is that none of what you say justifies posting these comments just to shit on something. It makes a negative contribution to the conversation, which HN explicitly does not want.
I get that you (and a lot of other people) think that, I just don't care. In general, you should disabuse yourself of the notion that a) you speak for HN, and b) that I care what you want.
Other HN users can have their opinions on what they want from HN, and can downvote accordingly. But I'd like HN to be a place where people can learn about reality instead of just go to get some false positive feedback, and I'm going to act accordingly.
If you want a place where you can get unconditional approval, you might want to try your mother. She'll always approve of what you do even if it's terrible.
And in general, you're not going to gain much traction talking to me as long as you think people are obligated to care when someone gets offended.
