This is wonderful work, and done in a respectful way that doesn't get in the way of the original site while adding quite a lot of really useful stuff. Great job with this. Now if only we could get HN to merge this into core...

#32I like it so far, but J to navigate down and K to navigate up is not intuitive at all. It should be flipped to match our Left-to-Right-Top-to-Bottom understanding of layouts
J and K are vim's keybindings for up and down, which I figured would fit well with the community and users. What are possible alternative mappings to make it more intuitive to non-developers?

#33Hello everyone, OP/developer here! If you are already using the extension, you can see the "[op]" beside my username too! ;) There are many extensions out there that add quite a few features to Hacker News, but they also always do one thing, which I have realised, is a slippery slope: changing the minimalistic design and style of Hacker News.

#34Great job. What I miss is weekly email roundup of comments made by people I like on HN. Its interesting that you cannot "follow" people on HN just to specifically read their comments.

Did you ever use "Hacker News Enhancement Suite" otherwise known as HNES? That extension had a few of these same features.
I use HNES and love it. But sadly it seems to be abandoned and hasn't kept up with a few changes HN have made along the way.
I'll give this new add-on a spin to see how things go.

#36Can you make it so that I can upvote this multiple times :)
Really good job.
Editing comments is a bit funny though: after clicking Update it takes me to the standard update page on HN instead of staying inline (on FF).

I believe you meant "RHN". Nevertheless, thank you so much!
