  • Ask HN: When were flagged submissions/comments added to the profile page?

    Since lots of people are accidentally flagging on mobile and I'm currently revisiting my Hacker News extension and adding a Safari version, I'm adding something which will let you choose your preferred solution for this (hide the flag control or require a confirm):

  • The UI of Hacker News Is Perfect
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Jun 2023
    Definitely not perfect. The default "collapse comment" buttons being right-aligned is pure insanity, IMO. They should be left-aligned so they're all in line with each other as you scroll down the page, so you barely have to move your mouse.

    Fortunately this extension[1] takes care of that.

    Also, proper hyperlink support in comments would be appreciated.

    I've also been writing a Godot app for HN off an on for a while now. It isn't ready for prime time but here's what it looks like[0].

    >Also, what are your habits around HN?

    I tend to lurk the new comments page. I check this site constantly, and use it as a distraction from more worthwhile projects. It's pathetic, this place is basically intellectual junk food.

    https://github.com/insin/hn-comments-owl does exactly that. Makes following threads so much better.
  • Ask HN: How do you track comment threads in HN?
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Jul 2021
    I use a plugin that shows new comment counts since my last visit and that highlights new comments[0].

    HN is beta testing a similar feature. I'd encourage them to add the new comment count as well if they haven't.
