I'd love if: * the site marked when I had already clicked a link * the site respected URLs so I can easily share links * I can read older HN links in your interface
Thank you!
Haxplore is a little web app I created because I didn't like to click around the HN interface to read submission and discussions. I also wanted to experiment with different ways of implementing keyboard control in web apps and HN seemed like the perfect test subject. So maybe it's useful for some of you too. The most important features are: - Intuitive keyboard control - Link detection in comments with hotkeys to ope…
This is awesome!! :) One tiny thing (though everyone's tiny suggestions sure add up :D ) (aside from the alt-h not working in firefox)... It would be awesome if hitting space or something on a selected post would open it in a iframe (or panel) in the middle of the screen. Then be able to up-arrow/down-array (or PGUP/PGDOWN) through the page and escape out of it. This would mean you can quickly skim an article without…
That really is a great idea. One issue might be that not every site allows being shown in an iframe because they block that functionality. But I'm gonna look into it!

Thank you! I'm definitely not complaining about the amount of feedback. It's really amazing. That really is a great idea. One issue might be that not every site allows being shown in an iframe because they block that functionality. But I'm gonna look into it!
Yeh, I could maybe image a 'p' button that would show a preview, that would just be hit-and-miss... I wonder what percentage of submissions on hacker news actively disallow iframes... like actual blog posts and not things like 'new apple product' from Apple's website :wondering:

I completely agree on the iframe. After opening a link I keep trying to go back by pressing the left arrow. Pressing Ctrl+W is not to bad to close the tab though.
(i.e. you closed this tab, redirect user to previous tab), so wouldn't work if I starting viewing a HN post, then continued work (that I should have been originally doing) then go back to the post, close it and then browser redirects me back to the 'work' tab that I came back from..... if you see what I mean.
Tab history: * Expected: HN client -> website from post -(ctrl+w)-> HN client vs: * HN Client -> HN post website -(switch tab)-> real work work tab -(switch back)-> HN post website -(ctrl+w)-> real work tab :(
)*
*Think I opened a bracket somewhere in the comment and haven't closed it

It's very sleek, responsive, and friendly! Kudos! Please don't let it die like many other Show HNs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28682173

Would love to see a PWA from this, as most I've found are basically ugly. Congrats for the work done. PS : Please use another color scheme or put a dark mode somehow, my wife will kill me if I open the app at night.
Oh, and I just addeda dark theme. Just to keep you alive. ;) It should be applied automatically, but you can also change it in the settings.

This is intentional. You have to use your arrow keys, WASD or HJKL to navigate.
Mixed with keyboard tabbing, it gets really confusing.
Can you please avoid blurring the prior column (or at least the comment you came from)? It's useful to see context that way. Otherwise I think it's really good. Reddit should have aspired to something this well thought out. (I'd also like page up / page down.)
I'm surprised at how smooth this is and am really considering this as a replacement of the HN page for me. The only thing I'd love to have added would be an inline mode, where replies to comments are also shown on the top level of the comment section, but indented, just like it's on YC's HN. More things: - Always show comments count - Reloading a comment section should not bring you back to the front page (clear enti…
I'm not sure about an inline mode because that would kind of defeat the initial purpose of this app. But, I did write it down and will see if there are others who would like this.
There is now an option to always show the comments count.
I'm currently working on exactly that issue. One of the next updates will add support for changes to the browser history and URL so you will be able to reload or share the URL at any point.
