Loved it. But I'm facing a couple of issues. 1. It's difficult to change menu without mouse. 2.Space for read not working in ask hn page.

Really nice, fancy doing a dark mode version? Also I didn't quite get how I was supposed to see comments

Thanks, definitely gonna add dark mode soon! I was hoping the arrow would convey enough meaning but I guess it's too subtle. I'm curious, did you read the "How to..." at the start?

Well, I 'thought' I'd read the the "How to"!

Maybe it needs a small guided tour thing

"We're sorry but Haxplore doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue." well that certainly is a twist...

It's a HN client with keyboard navigation. Not sure what you expect.

First of all, congratulations on shipping it! It's pretty cool. Some feelings I had while using it, just in case it's useful to you: - To me is a bit strange than when I'm focused on comments, by pressing Enter it opens the URL of the article (that it's not my focus right now). - Also I would like to add comments, but I think in this version is still not possible. - As others mention, it wouldn't hurt that those acti…

Thank you very much!

1. In get why that might be a bit confusing. The problem is, you can't focus the article/post after opening the comments, so you would have to go back in order to open the link. I didn't find a better solution at the time, so I just left it like this. Maybe I just have to think a bit harder ;)

2. I mostly just read discussions that's why I didn't even consider a comment feature. But I'm definitely gonna look into that and see if it's possible.

3. Might be a good idea. I actually had a mouse/keyboard switch at some point but removed it because it was a bit buggy and confusing. Maybe I should rethink that.

Thanks for your feedback!

It would be nice if there were a way for it to "remember" where I left off, or filter stories I've already scrolled past out of the list when I come back.

Wow this is really cool and well designed. Sorry for this simple question but what did you use to get the nice sliding like animation? Is that intentional or just a result of updating the currently selected article?

I like it. It's strangely refreshing! I do agree the colors are a little odd. Might be the strangely part! :-)

Thanks! What about the colors do you find odd? I didn't put that much thought into the color choices, so I'm really curious.
