Finally, I use HN exclusively through glider on android, because the Website is less than stellar tbh. I like the modern UI for Wikipedia too, it would be great if you can make it work on Wiktionary.org too! A note, the wikipedia extension doesn't work on non-engoish versions of Wikipedia, for example de or ar.Wikipedia.org Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be open source, a big nono with browser extensions It would b…
I kinda come here because it doesn't have this :) But this is the good thing about it, people can extend it as they wish.
To be fair, I wish HN had a substantially bigger font, for phone reading. That's about my only complaint. Oh, and way bigger links for my big thumbs
Do you accept feature requests/think this might be a good idea? I've been thinking about creating this + adding https://github.com/mozilla/readability to grab the links that are text articles and present them in-page (and cleaned up, just the text+images+similar, removing all the sidebars, popups, etc) instead of having to go to a 3rd party website with all the popups and such. It'd have to be either a personal websi…
It's a nice idea! One consideration would be how to grab the html of the pages. In my experience, using either fetch() or an ajax request often runs into problems with CORS etc on the destination site blocking the request. Maybe there's a better way someone knows for extensions to grab remote html without running into these problems? The alternative would be for the extension to grab the html via API from a crawler r…

You can parse any URL into markdown with `https://content-parser.com/markdown?url={encodeURIComponent(...}`.
Please consider adding some kind of comment's depth indicator. My most frequent action on long threads is "stop reading the rest and move to next top-level comment". If previous top level comment is beyond top of the screen - I just scroll down looking for minimal indent. With your centered design it is impossible. A thin line by the left side of text column wuld be enough, or you may go further and add some dots or pictograms on the left of each comment. Just a suggestion.
