One thing I truly want HN to add is a button like https://apolloapp.io https://apolloapp.io or official reddit app have that lets you go down/up the top threads quickly. Usually its in the bottom right corner.
Super useful when browsing on mobile.
- Vinnl 6y agoI'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but I had a similar need and wrote this extension for my personal use: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/sihn/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/sihn/ It adds "parent" and "root" buttons under every comment. You can use the collapse button next to a post to get to its next sibling. (They are also made easier to hit on mobile.) Firefox only though.
- skavi 6y agoSync for Reddit allowed you to map volume buttons to thread up/down. That was super convenient and fast. Unfortunately, it seems Apple does not look to such features kindly.
- Merman_Mike 6y agoI hope that HN doesn't add anything. It's great just the way it is. People can certainly add whatever they want with browser extensions, though.
- saagarjha 6y agoFloating buttons are…kind of annoying, to be honest. Just like those “back to top” buttons a lot of websites use.
- ballenf 6y agoI prefer the current option to hit the '-' to collapse threads when I'm done with them and not having any more click/touch targets on screen. It seems like the collapsing is remembered while logged in across devices and sessions.
