Would be nice if the mod / highligher added an annotation for why the comment is insightful and/or remarkable.

I like this page better when it’s not pre-chewed. It’s nice to read something without a specific expectation or context.

Most of the highlighted comments fall under the heading “I was around when X happened” though. The list could almost be titled “first-hand-experiences”.

It's been around for a while, I just got prompted to add it to /lists recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37579724 . All: if you see a particularly great comment, let us know at hn@ycombinator.com and we'll take a look and hopefully add it. We don't want to be the only ones noticing these!

Any chance getting reply notifications into the roadmap?

You might be aware of it already and just looking for a native solution but https://www.hnreplies.com works well for me for many years now.

I hesitate to admit this, since I have a 14 year old account- but this is the first I have ever heard of /lists. I can get to it by appending "/lists" to the url, but I can't see a "lists" link anywhere on the site- is it some kind of hidden page? If so- are there more?

There's a "Lists" link at the bottom of the page, above the search box.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly it’s a decision not to have reply notifications.

The thinking (as I understand it) is they want to discourage back and forth threads between 2 people.

I never noticed there was a search box, always used Algolia directly…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What extension do you use to snooze tabs in Firefox?

I use this one by Mozilla themselves, but there might be better ones out there: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/snoozetabs/

I haven't tried that one, but I use Auto Tab Discard (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-tab-disc...), which has way more users and a higher rating. It can't "snooze until next month" though.
