This is like RES for HN, RFN!
I believe you meant "RHN". Nevertheless, thank you so much!
Yeah just got confused :)

Wouldn't it be HNES? RES = Reddit Enhancement Suite so RHN would be? Reddit Hacker News? And I have no clue that RFN was supposed to stand for. Edit: Actually it looks like there is already a HNES [0] [0] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-enhanc...
RHN = Refined Hacker News

#53Hello 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. I created this extension with one thing in mind: I am NOT going to mess aro…
I have not installed yet, but may I suggest one feature, assuming it does not exist yet?
Hide Posts Above
It hides all posts in the feed above the selected post.
This is a feature in the reddit iOS Apollo app. This not only makes the site less stale, but also might help alleviate “frontpage upvote bias” where great items that are not on the first couple pages don’t get many views and upvotes.

> I created this extension with one thing in mind: I am NOT going to mess around with the overall design or style of Hacker News. It's sacrosanct. I wish you would do something about the voting buttons and the expand/collapse buttons. They're way too tiny and way too close to other elements in the default scheme used by HN. This is a big deficiency I see with the default HN interface, which makes it less usable as we…
Hi! The feature "click-rank-to-vote-unvote" increases the hit-area of the upvote button, so you can click the "rank" of the item to upvote the item.

Hi! It be great if you could elaborate on the implementation of this feature. I don't currently have an iOS device to see the feature in the. Better still, it'd be also great if you could submit a feature request on GitHub so it helps me to track the issues.

#56This is very very nice! May I ask what language did you code this in? Is it JS? Or just how did you get started? Yeah I'm just an average Joe who is getting started and loves learning new stuff. Hopefully that not too intrusive, thanks.

Cool, I made one with the exact same principles to scratch a personal itch - inline reply is something I was hoping to add some time. Anyway, I'd love to be able to just use someone else's extension :) Mine makes up/downvote and collapsing buttons easier to hit on mobile, links to parent/root comments, and rewrites Google AMP links to regular links. It's open source, so feel free to incorporate those features in your…
Thanks a lot for this! I'll sure look into it :)

Hey, regarding your update, could you create an issue on GitHub? It'll be easier to discuss it there.
The counter "counts" the feature that have been loaded. It looks like you are stuck on the "highlight-unread-comments" feature. Could you open the console and check for error messages there?

#59Feature request: hide-paywalled-sites Removes all links from wsj, nytimes, bloomberg, etc.
Hmm, this feature seems very aggressive. Nevertheless, please consider creating a feature request on GitHub to push it forward and get greater support for it! https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news/issues

Hi! Thanks for your kind words.
Since this is a browser extension, it's almost completely written in JavaScript only. You can check the entire code on the GitHub repo itself! Feel free to email me anytime :)
