Reading posts with a lot of comments in HN. I never know what comments are new without looking to the date (sometimes they are hundreds).
- BJakopovic 16y agoI generally try and batch read HN (via rss) daily, and sometimes I feel that I am missing out on new comments (made after I finished reading and closed the tab; most commonly the new/recent posts)...would be nice to avoid bookmarking and searching for the new comments
- bluemetal 16y agoI've got a chrome extension called "hckr news". It shows you which comments on a HN thread that are new since the last time you visited that page. So far I'm liking it
- tsycho 16y agoI was thinking of this same problem yesterday. I will try to hack together a Firefox extension for this over the weekend to give the HN comments page Slashdot type filters (min. point thresholds), and date sorting. Will post on HN if it works well.
- username3 16y agoChrome can use Greasemonkey userscripts. Can you add collapse-able replies?
- bambax 16y agoI built an extension for Chrome that lets you hide articles + collapse comments (HN HideIt); it's here: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dibillbafbngeiloehmhhibhjhipeoig https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dibillbafbngeilo...
- tsycho 16y agoGood suggestion....will try to add that as well.
- daleharvey 16y agoyeh if anyone has a firefox extension to fix this then it annoys me as well.
- lutorm 16y agoYeah, though reading is not so bad until you post a comment (like now), at which point you end up back at the top... An inline comment feature would be great.
