Re: An unofficial alternative to the HN interface
#62I used to use this interface, but then I noticed a bug (or interesting feature, depending on your point of view) in that when you were viewing the top 10 or top 20, and loaded more articles, some articles would disappear from the list. My theory on this is that it was caused by loading articles a certain number of hours back from the current time, and then grouping by day before sorting to the top X. For example, if…
Sorry if I never got back to you about this. There were definitely some bugs around the filtering / content loading. I _think_ they've been resolved for a while now, so I hope you'll give it another shot.
Oh, and if you're looking for recommendations on new features:
1. Colorize submissions that have had X% increase in votes/comments (with different colors) since last visit when in top X mode (specifically in the past 48-72 hours). 2. Allow a user defined point/comment threshold over which submissions are colorized.

#63One thing I would love is: -top X posts by comments from a day/week/month -top X posts by votes from day/week/momth What I don't like about Hacker News is that interesting things fall out of front page too quickly and discussion dies I prefer interface where interesting stuff stays at the top longer (amount of comments last week approximate it well in my view).
It doesn't allow for arbitrary granularity, but you may be unaware of: https://news.ycombinator.com/lists
See also - http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/ - I find its a better "best".

#64I've been pretty happy with the HackerNew Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hackernew/lgoghlnd...
Using this for over 6 months, can't go back to regular HN, even though this means browsing using Chrome.
Depending upon your objections about Chrome, you can use a non-Google Chromium binary.

#65I wish there would be a dark/black edition somewhere.
Me too. Exactly the same layout as http://www.hckrnews.com/ but with white text on a dark grey background.
The orange components could be left the same, as they would still provide good contrast and go with the colour scheme.

#66It brings me much joy to know that this link also appears on hckrnews.com :)
Re: An unofficial alternative to the HN interface
#67May i suggest you go off white. Not a lot just enough to unbrigthen the screen.

Re: An unofficial alternative to the HN interface
#68I still like http://hn.premii.com
Huh. This would be alright on an iPad, but it doesn't fit my current flow of browsing HN: * skim a page of links * open ~5 interesting links in new tab, open comments if I predict the comments will be interesting * go through tabs, which are already loaded by the time I get there With this strategy, there's not a millisecond of perceived loading time.
I have the same workflow, and I like http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/ on mobile (and sometimes desktop).
Re: An unofficial alternative to the HN interface
#69My favorite continues to be http://hackerwebapp.com/ but this has some nice features as well.
I mashed together the best parts of hackerwebapp and hckr news:

I personally like the HN-Special chrome extension : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hn-special-an-addi...
I tried all the of Chrome extensions mentioned in this thread, and this one is the least obtrusive. I like it.
