Please tell us what features you'd like in news.ycombinator

Create and track separately "saved stories" and "upvoted stories" and also allow unsaving and de-upvoting (sometimes we make mistakes).

remove the karma count in the upper right corner of the landing page.

every single time I go to the site I unconsciously eyeball that karma count to see if it went up or down. it can be very distressing and distracts me from the content of the articles. would prefer some other kind of notification method that someone may have replied to my posts.

RSS Feed for the Best submissions would be a nice addon.

So my user doesn't exist according to http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=alexcr

However, I also get That username is taken. Please choose another when I try to register the same username. Have I been banned? If so, would you like to start indicating that in the interface somewhere?

For example: "You cannot login because this account was banned" or "The user account you tried to lookup no longer exists because it was banned" ?

Account: alexcr

Instead of:

    upvote.onclick=func(){ hideButton(); doRequest(); }

Please do:

    upvote.onclick=func(){ doRequest().onsuccess(func(){ hideButton(); } }

Upvotes, or downvotes for that matter, don't always go through, but this is in no way made visible. Especially when pressing the back button, the browser might load a cache with expired links. Or when using a mobile connection, the connection often drops and you never know when it's safe to navigate away from the page.
