I want it to stay relatively unchanged.

If it can handle bigger loads, that'd be great. Otherwise, it's working, and I believe it's near-complete from a user perspective.

Features should be built for the moderation side, IMO, not the user side.

My most wanted HN feature would be... a nice catalog of all the features built by third parties. There are some awesome-HN lists, but I have something more elaborate in mind. I'm saying this because, what is the last time HN added a (major) user-side native feature ? (I'm not complaining, just curious)

Maybe minor UI things like making some buttons larger on mobile (voting and collapse) could help. Believe dang has mentioned the modest server infrastructure and updates there may, at times of high traffic, make an impact for Users.

Otherwise I don't have any desire to change the feature set.

HN seriously needs more "social" engagement. There should be an always on, all user "chat" beside every page. This will allow the finer co-ordination of reactions to WrongThink and deviancy. When "VR" comes around again, the chat can be made into a 3d avatar environment. There needs to be cryptocurrency integration. Make "karma" a coin. People will fear down votes more when the cost is real. Could help fund the site…

Before the real name policy, it sounded too real to be understandable as a sarcasm.
