#12Finally, Hacker News gets closer to Slashdot. Now all we need is abstracts for stories, and the karma system that lets people communicate what their vote means.

#13Love this. Not sure how the hacker news team would react to this. Looks like hckrnews.com is going to be my default go to site from now on.
I started using this hckrnews.com about 3-4 years ago, and it is fantastic. I really love it.

Honestly that'd be nice. I don't know about details, but some way to know why a comment is gray would be nice.

#15Custom views offers a very different perspective of what is "front page" for Hacker News, and it severely interacts with the argument of how the front page ought be curated. IMO most consumer apps and feed-like experiences should offer custom views for those who care for something other than an officially curated experience.
There are other views: https://news.ycombinator.com/lists Not so customizable, though.
My HACK app provides all those (and a few additional views which aren't listed on that page) plus chronological views which can be filtered by Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly. You can also filter for posts with 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500 points.
Also sends push notifications for when someone replies/comments to your post/comment.

Isn't HN like other forums with terrible, er quaint UI at this point? No power users on reddit actually use the bare app or official mobile application.

Usually comments are grayed out if either it's been downvoted a lot (some sort of upvote to downvote ratio) or if it's been "FLAGGED" or "DEAD".

You can learn about this on a post on GitHub about much (but not all) of HN's undocumented behavior [1]:
"All comments start with a score of 1 point (but in order to prevent bandwagoning, the comment score is not visible to users other than the author). After users reach 501 Karma, they gain the ability to downvote another comment. Downvoted comments (i.e. with a score [1] https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented#downvo...

It only shows topics that hit the front page at least once.
