#22Looks nice, but I perfer Georgify https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ofjfdfaleomlfanfeh...
The styling is really only the tip of this extension :-)

#23This is my HN for Chrome http://imgur.com/dPcjC Given my default sans font is set to Droid Sans, all I needed to do was simply zoom-in (Ctrl ++) twice and chrome keep it this way between log-ins and recently between machines as well.
The extension is mainly about additional functionality and ease of use over styling, let me know if you give it a try!

#24I would use it if you didn't change the css, and didn't make share the rightmost link. Also, that "block this guy" popup is really pervasive when you're just roaming around with the mouse. Other than that, really nice work!
> I would use it if you didn't change the css
Same here. It seems very useful but styling should be optional, some of us realy like how good ol' HN looks.

The CSS needs some cleaning up, I can see a few little issues, but I personally like the new style a tad better. I get the whole hackernews/reddit meme of "thou shalt design the most basic UI and never change it", but these days it feels more like an "engineers idea of a minimum viable UI" instead of a "well-designed, minimalist, useful UI".
This looks good, and while I won't call it better quite yet, I have no strong desire to turn it off, good work!
EDIT: On the mainpage, I dislike the X's that are attached to the right, they're near invisible and then you rollover and all kinds of contrasty things pop up. Also, I dislike the rolldowns for user names. They're unresponsive and you have to click to make them roll-up. As such, they get in the way.

#26Wow! The infinite scrolling feature just made me a lot less productive at work. I used to just look at the homepage...
Feature suggestion: could you add a different link to the discussion page? Something more prominent and easier to click?
Re: Show HN: HackerNew for Chrome
#27The only missing feature that prevents it to become the ultimate HN extension is to show an icon in the address bar that links the a web page to the HN thread (if available).
Keep up the great work!

#28Congrats Tom! Been looking forward to using this.
Re: Show HN: HackerNew for Chrome
#29Endless scrolling is very cool, until you try to click one of the links on the bottom or use the search.
Re: Show HN: HackerNew for Chrome
#30Fantastic work! I'm liking the different feel of the site. Infinite scrolling is a big plus too. Curious to see what else you can do with this.
