I use the telegram channel of hacker news' top posts of the day with more than 100+ scores ( https://telegram.me/hacker_news_feed )and also the hooks bot (@hooks_bot) in telegram which shows posts with 200+ score..

Joined, although I already read hn mostly through the Telegram @hnrobot bot or hckr news website.

I had no idea there were people that needed to view HN differently - let alone 21+ ways. I find the "native" presentation basically perfect for both desktop and mobile browsing.

You're joking right?

I've used the Hacker News Enhancement Suite for the past few years and thought it did just enough things to make the site a tad more usable without going overboard: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...

I've been making the switch from Chrome to Firefox over the past month, and HNES is the one thing I truly miss that I haven't found a good replacement for.

I use the "Chrome Store Foxified" extension which lets you install some Chrome plugins including HNES.

I'd consider HNES's highlighting of new comments to be nearly essential to reading HN. I don't understand how others can follow long discussions without any indication of what comments have been posted since a previous viewing or refresh. And it doesn't seem to me like it would be a difficult feature to add.
