#62Please forgive my ignorance, but what's the point of having proprietary web apps for Chrome that could already be achieved with existing HTML5 toolkits?
This just seems to be an effort to "app-ify" the web, that is, create a shitty appstore google owns for websites. I hate this concept and don't understand why people support fragmenting webpages like this. HackerNew may be fantastic, but release it as a website that all browsers can display.

#64One thing I would add is either reducing title size on the front page, or adding an adjustable title size on the front page (and remember that title size). I wouldn't mess with the font size otherwise, it just throws everything off.
Otherwise, this is terrific! Only bad part is endless scrolling may keep me on HN even longer.

#67Just installed it - loving the added spacing, increased font sizes/etc; it makes far better use of the full screen. I doubt I'll ever be uninstalling this :)

Not for us poor laptop owners! It's actually the exact opposite :/

#68Finally, a way to easily share HN posts! Had to adjust the styling using Stylebot, title fonts are way too big... Can you add an Instapaper button? Would be really helpful

#69Blue text on a white background is a cardinal sin in design.

Your point is valid; I'd guess the developer's point in "having proprietary web apps for Chrome" is that there is no cost to run the extension in other people's browsers.
It is a lot more work to do this cross-browser, even with some of the newer toolkits designed to help in this scenario: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4913123/cross-browser-ext...
