This should be a standard feature in HN. The other pain point is the up/down arrows being so close to each other on mobile that I have to zoom in, vote, then zoom out.

#32Is there a way to sandbox a chrome extension to a specific domain (or know that an extension is only allowed to work on a specific domain)?

Its such a simple thing to ask for too! Hacker News interface is complete trash for such a popular website.
I, too, would like to see collapsible comments on HN, but I also want to keep the interface simple. It never needs to be flashy, just functional.

#34This is nice. One feature I'd like in HN is a max comment depth that is collapsed by default. Often a lot of scrolling is needed to get past a controversial thread that has a lot of replies, but doesn't discuss something relevant or informative. People end up replying to the top thread even for a different topic, because they feel that is the only way to get seen.

#36I'm pretty happy with "Hacker News Enhancement Suite", it supports this and few other nice things. [0] [0] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...
I just tried this and I am not happy with it. I dislike the extreme changes it makes to HN's layout and colors. Way too heavy handed for me. Surprising, given the name, which is obviously a play on Reddit Enhancement Suite, which is a great addon that doesn't make reddit look totally different.
I might fork it one day, call it HNES+ or something. Then maybe development can gain a bit of traction again.

Completely agree that this should be a standard feature, and I think it's a big mistake that it wasn't introduced back when comment score visibility was removed. Back then, I used a comment's score as a way of finding more interesting comments. I totally understand why this feature was removed, however, without it, I'm left to look for comments that get a lot of replies to weed out the boring comments from the intere…
I'd be interested if they tested it, but I can't say for certain if I think it should become a feature or not.

Yes! And on mobile, I manage to flag things on accident at least a few times per week.
