I noticed two types of HN posts:

1.- A Hacker News for _______ (finance[1], bitcoin[2], architecture[3], etc)

2.- Filter Hacker News (exclude ___[4], by tags[5], etc)

Food for thought.

It would be nice if HN had follow feature similar to twitter where you can see what your favorite author\commentator just posted. With notification feature, HN would lets us know when someone replies to one of our comments then HN would be so user friendly.

Please relocate "delete" in new submission.

I just submitted a question. Under the entry in new is this text:

  	1 point by dded 0 minutes ago | discuss | edit | delete
This puts "delete" where "discuss" usually is. I intended to click on "discuss" to see what my entry looked like, but clicked "delete" instead. Luckily there was a confirmation dialog. Could the text be made to look like this:

  	1 point by dded 0 minutes ago | delete | edit | discuss

Upvote/downvote arrows are too close togheter to comfortably use on phones, especially that the actions are not possible to reverse. Some UI idea is needed here imo. I like what Reddit is Fun app does: you need to touch the post and then upvote/downvote appear below it next to each other. Unfortunately that wouldn't be natural for desktop/mouse users. As it is now, downvote rights which just appeared on my account make it that I can no longer upvote anything on mobile, risk of accidently hitting the wrong arrow is just too big.
