Great features! Request: Feature 5 most-popular-by-day is almost exactly what I've wanted for a long time, except in RSS form - a feed that updates once per day with the top 30 stories from the previous day in the order of most time on front page. None of the external HN-specific RSS generators do it quite right.

Try this:

Great features, thanks! The one feature I can't believe I lived without that the HN Enhancement Suite chrome extension provides, is highlighting unread comments since your last visit. It actually makes it worthwhile revisiting e.g. a 200 comment thread when there are now 300 comments without just reading all the same comments again and being unable to spot the new ones. If it became supported cross device by HN itsel…

Yes. Another user has argued for this effectively and persuaded us to do some version of it.

It would be a massive improvement.

This update broke regular indentation for me; comments have no indentation at all for me now.

My setup is: Chromium Version 54.0.2794.0 (64-bit) on Win8.1, uBlock Origin with literally everything blocked.

I could start allowing scripts from news.ycombinator.com but I'd rather not make an exception.

Nice work. A suggestion: add keyboard shortcuts to help navigate and collapse comments.

Are you just letting us know you've determined that you can easily solve your own problem in less time than it took to describe it, but chose not to; or are you very subtly asking HN to inline hn.js into every single page because ? :)

Could you please hide comments at depth > 2 by default? Comments on popular posts tend to be deeply nested.

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 a certain Troll Level.

There should be a feature to highlight posts that don't get featured on Home Page despite of being good. May be something like Moderators' Choice or Posts of the Week?

Link to "hidden" stories should be on the user profile page and if you click "hide" it should take you to the user profile page.

-OR-

Take you to the "HN.com/hidden" URL and tell the user to bookmark it.

-OR-

Just be on the main nav if you've hidden links and are logged in.

________

Hidden the link to unhide links that hidden... To hard to do.

Please do user testing on the existing features before adding more features.
