#172Delete from saved page (when one is "done" with that item), or at least strike out.

#173What about a help page with current and in progress and rejected features? (give us a wiki and we'll write it)
I wish a way to sort|filter comments by points, date, etc. exists, but I don't know if I'm the only one. I've tried to search in this thread but I've found nothing looking for "filter" as searching by "points" is impossible (well, possible but futile)

#174Undo-able votes, or an are-you-sure on votes-- accidentally downmodding random comments is unhappy.

#175Privately expose the voting power on account profiles.
I think it would be bad for the community to know how powerful someone else's votes are, as folks would bias voting according to whether the poster had high or low voting power.
But I'm curious how much my votes influence hotness and match the oracles.

#178PG - i use news.yc on my cell phone from time to time. it seems that something changed in the last few months that makes it quite unreadable at least on my phone - all the text is centered, not left-aligned at all. Perhaps the mobile browser doesn't support whatever CSS you're using to left-align things, and taking the tags literally. I don't know how much of this was my fault either. :-)

#179RSS for the newest category, not for the front page. this way i can keep an eye on what's new without having to constantly refresh the page. the current RSS feed is pretty useless to me.

#180when creating an account, please have a second password field for confirmation. Without that, it is far too easy to fat finger the password when creating an account.
