Like the keyboard shortcuts, and miss the old design. Would love these shortcuts with the old design; if it ain't broke, go fly a kite and be with your kids instead.
- I'm missing a "jump back up" shortcut, something I'd recommend using capital "G" for, like in Vim.
- It seems it hits some hardcoded limit for paging? i.e. it does not allow me to open more stories once I reach the "bottom" one.
- Two things I'm used to that exist in the Android app I'm using: * stories are numbered, so I see how far from the top I am. It's a dimmed down grey number, but it's there and I like it. * depending on the number of comments, an article can be marked as hot with a "fire" emoji. I got used to that to immediately spot things which are trending.
Overall, well done! I am definitely subscribing, and I'll test if I can switch to it on Android.

Haxplore is a little web app I created because I didn't like to click around the HN interface to read submission and discussions. I also wanted to experiment with different ways of implementing keyboard control in web apps and HN seemed like the perfect test subject. So maybe it's useful for some of you too. The most important features are: - Intuitive keyboard control - Link detection in comments with hotkeys to ope…
I’m impressed that it works on mobile too. I guess best ux is with a keyboard but still it’s nice to see what it’s about.
I particularly like the response time (low latency). It's underappreciated in web design.

In the beginning it was so bad on mobile that it was actually completely unusable. I think it's still not very good but at least it's somewhat usable. A keyboard is definitely the recommended input device. ;)
On Firefox on Linux with SwayWM
None of the hotkeys work except the arrows and hjkl.
Alt-h opens up mozilla's help menu.
Enter opens up the site's help menu. (maybe because that was the last thing I clicked on?)
And 'o' does nothing that I can tell.
