> Showing new/unread comments is also a cool idea but it will increase the amount of requests to the HN api. However I'm gonna look into it. At the simplest level LocalStorage or equivalent keyed on the submission id with a prior comment count to be compared with the new comment count would be sufficient. If it had a time of hast check as well, highlighting new comments would also be easy. I'm not sure about other people, but thise are really the two things I care about most when trying to keep up with a discussion (are there new comments, and which are they).
