Thanks! You're right, that part is a bit weird. I added that in the last moment and didn't really spend much time on making in good.

A couple of more ideas: * Some way to go to the top of the page without refreshing the page. * Some way to load new posts asynchronously without refreshing the page.

1. The last update added support for the page up, page down and home keys. That should make it easier to get back to the top.

2. Do you mean loading more posts when you reached the end of the list? This will also be added in one of the next few updates.

Thank you!

I use a Mac Air. I don't have these keys.

No, I mean the usecase when let's say I'm viewing a post or even when I'm on the home page, and I want to check if there have been new comments or new posts without reloading the page.

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…

Love this, and hope you continue the development.

Feature request: Ability to open an HN URL in Haxplore.

Hey, don't know if you're still reading, but the ability to sort frontpage by Best would be an awesome addition!

Been using this for the last couple of days. There's a slight tradeoff due to not having a good overview of the "discussion tree", but overall it's a super smooth way of browsing HN!
