My biggest beef with HN (apart from the amount of cool articles on it) isn't the look and feel of the site, it's the inability to distinguish old from new content.
I know, I could probably just subscribe to the RSS feed and do this in a feed aggregator, but sometimes I want to just quickly look at the front page and see the new stories since my last visit, without also having to deal with the stuff from 2 day ago that is still unread in Google Reader e.g..
Are the any community HN tools out there to help me out here?
- _frog 16y agoFor me, visited links are greyed out whilst anything I haven't seen since last visit is black. Are you emptying your cache and history on exit perchance? Here's what I see for reference: http://cl.ly/57jx http://cl.ly/57jx
- jschuur 16y agoNo, but that assumes I visit every link. I only end up clicking on 10-20% of them. I suppose I could simply find a browser extension t visit all the links on the site, automatically, but that doesn't seem right if I'm not going to look at the articles.
