Very, very nice. Don't get caught up customizing this for the HN crowd. The way it works now will have popular appeal. In any case, it is much, much better than the Google UX.
Thank you for your wise advice! I will have to choose carefully what to do and what not to do.
Wow, I was not expecting to be so impressed. I'm going to literally just try using this instead of Google for a lot of my searches.

Thank you for the kind compliment, that is appreciated :) Good feedback! Ok I will definitely add an option to turn off Instagram and Twitter. Is there anything besides those? Not sure I want to add an option to turn off anything, trying to limit the complexity and number of options. Pinning... could you give me some examples of columns you would always want pinned to the front vs dynamic based on relevancy? Or some…
If you dislike some companies, you probably don't want to ever see their content, risk to load any kind of tracking information, or help them with an increase in traffic. I'd love too a turn off feature, or a filter of some kind

Is there some specific other sources you would like me to add? Could totally do it quickly if it would be helpful for everyone. Right now I'm thinking about the pinning and ability to add any site. Kind of tricky to implement design vs simplicity wise.

Wow, this is the best feedback. A lot here that is helpful. Search profiles. This is a good idea. But could add a lot of complexity and options to fiddle with. I'm trying to just code stuff that adds a tons of value with the least code, basically efficiency. Which Goggles/profiles would you want/need? Would help me to think about this. Trying to figure out the best way to improve this without a bunch of work/settings…

I agree. It is really good. But I also want the ability to select my sources. For example, I don't care about Instagram or Pinterest either but there may be people who don't care about twitter. My recommendation is to show everything by default and let the user "uncheck" the source for now. In phase 2 may be, you could make that a User level setting/default. One source to add: HN :). For example, I know some very wel…
For example, "cloudflare CTO". https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jgrahamc
Not show how I could trigger that... any thoughts? I would need to correlate that search with a person, then know that he is super active on hackernews and find out the unique username. Problem is hackernews maybe isn't SEOed super well, so your profile doesn't show up in the results....
Let me know if you have any ideas on how....
I suppose it's my personal bias (I like minimal & clear layouts), but this current UI you got going on feels claustrophobic at best. Since you're committing to a horizontal scrollbar, why not increase the size of columns and position the content so it feels like I am reading/looking _down_ (from top to bottom) not everywhere all at once. Also, a better scrollbar design would be nice + individually making sure each co…
Thank you for your detailed feedback! It should look pretty clean, unless you have a browser that always shows scrollbars. What browser and operating system are you using? I think Windows and IE might show scrollbars more. Should look good on majority of popular browsers like mobile and Chrome. But if you give me more details I can look into how it looks on your side. I did try adding a stronger header look before...…
Well that is shockingly good! I was not expecting somthing so good. Nice job! I would ask for one thing - the ability to turn off certain sources. Instagram is not of, and never will be of interest to me. Edit: 2nd suggestion / feature request: add ability to 'pin' columns to a position. 3rd suggestion / feature request: ability to add scoped google columns, I would love a column that has `site:stackoverflow.com` pre…
