Will Feature #5 be available through the Firebase API?

Good question! We can look into it if you don't mind emailing hn@ycombinator.com.

In a similar vein - are there plans to make user favorites accessible through the API? Number of favorites an item has received would be cool too.

I bet whoever has the top comment on this one is going to see their karma go up and down as everyone tests out the unvote and undown feature. :)

Tested upvote, worked. Tested undo upvote, worked. Tested downvote, worked. My testing is complete.

new user so pardon my ignorance but I dont have a downvote button. Do I need to enable it somewhere?

you need to have a certain amount of karma (number next to your account) for the downvote function to be available.

You need to have a certain amount of karma before you can downvote comments. I'm not sure what the threshold is these days.

You need a certain amount of karma to downvote. I think it's 500, but I'm not sure because I don't have that much yet. :)

Edit: it's confirmed at 501: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12074198

There is a karma limit (of ~500) to get downvote privileges.

A few weeks ago I recently obtained the downvote ability at 500 karma.

Can confirm. Hopefully, the extension will be updated soon.

I'll work on it once I get home tonight. I must be the only one who hates to hear of new HN features :)

Glad to see it mainlined! Wish I hadn't spent the past few days rejiggering all this stuff, though...

There's a new proof-of-concept branch that doesn't break beyond some presentational stuff. Would love to get some feedback and help proving it out. It might not provide much benefit in light of these changes, but it could be a good base for new features.
