Why hire when you can get it for free?

Because it's a mess. So many extensions are fighting each other because HN has long stagnated. There are so many AI startups with YCombinator that can rewrite it in a modern language and make it a POSITIVE example.

I really like some of the hncompanion features a lot. I'm happy that people are trying different approaches and I agree with tom's response to you above.

Yes, it is. I'm not really active on github (other than some toys i want to share with friends), i didn't even update portfolio on my website in over 10 years. I'm happy to share my projects and contributions privately, if you're interested.

Please share. You've said some nasty things in this thread about me personally as well as my hard work. Stuff that even got reprimanded by dang. Now, you're talking about bringing value to the ecosystem, and I'm not sure how 10 year old github accounts, and private repositories fulfill that. Let's see what you've got that is so amazing.

I didn't say anything nasty, now you're just delusional. I had a feeling you were butthurt when you dug my profile:) Relax, calm down and then we can talk.

Lots of nice tweaks, but the most important is missing: the ability to move the collapse comment buttons (`[-]`) to the left of commenters' usernames. Doing this makes the collapse buttons all aligned with each other, making them far easier to click in succession. "Comments Owl for Hacker News" extension does this I believe.

Thanks! A lot of it is AI with my own input, but I think it did a great job. The code is all open source and people can do with it what they want. It is GPLv3, but I'd special license it to them as MIT without question.

Well, if it's AI-generated, it's not really copyrighted by you and you cannot license it under GPL, since you did not write it. Nice work, nevertheless, and useful!

I mean, it's a color scheme. With like 5 colors. So good luck getting it copyrighted anyway.

I would like to see users clustered by their political and programming axes of belief

When someone who programs mostly in Rust responds to someone who programs mostly in Go I would like an animated bouncing icon that says "fight! fight! fight!" and when I press it it should leave a comment that instigates a fight, like "Serde is not really all that good".

What is the correct pronunciation of serde? Fight amongst yourselves. /s

Not bad I do like the transparency on AI usage. So many projects omit this completely and its difficult not to assume someone just claude coded it in an evening to farm clicks. But this looks nice I'll probably check it out

All day long, I read about people vibe coding, so I decided to open my mind and try it out myself and see if I could do some sort of mix between my own skills as a life long web developer and whatever the kids are doing these days. Mostly because I have a strong belief that AI itself won't take our jobs away, but people who know AI will. What I found out is that I'm never going back to a world where I don't integrate…

This is super nice, thank you for including an AI disclosure. I would probably normally avoid something like this bc I would be considered by how much code oversight there is. Very nice to know that it's overseen properly by a human. Installed it and it's quite nice!!! great work :)

It would also be nice to be able to hide the checkbox it adds to the homepage. also disabling show focus box doesnt actually seem to work?

I want hacker news UX to stay as it is, mostly, but these are features I'd welcome.

What features would you welcome?

I like how on Reddit you can click to the right of a comment header (username, timestamp, etc) to collapse that subthread. Gives you a much bigger hit target than just [-]. Also saves putting [-] over near the up/down arrows for consistency of positioning, a decision which could otherwise just create trouble on mobile.

Some things have taken us 15 years and then pow they happened

Dang your comment excites me to think that Hackernews can have dark mode in future. Aside from all of this AI hype, This is the feature I am most excited about xD! Dang, genuine question but when you moderate/view Hackernews yourself, I suppose that you must yourself be using dark mode too correct? or do you view hackernews in light-mode?

Although I did just confess* to enjoying accoutrements which for years have been selfishly withheld from others (bare-bones UI for thee but not for me), dark mode is not one of them.
