Two suggestions - totally personal, so curious what other's think:
1) get rid of the front page dominating "welcome", I think it's unnecessary and annoying - people will click on the link and read more if they want to.
2) make the interface exactly like hacker news. For instance I think the bold titles is a bit distracting, esp after navigating over from hn.
3) one of my favorite features of hn is that I can often just type "n" into my browser address bar and the browser autocompletes to news.ycombinator.com. This is particularly useful on my mobile. Would be cool if the name of non-hn had some similar sort of name that leveraged autocomplete.
- newt0311 18y agoFirefox has a (to my knowledge -- undocumented) bookmark keyword feature which allows assigning keywords to bookmarks. These keywords can then be typed into the location bar and firefox with automatically load the bookmark. The keyword input box only pops up when you right-click on the bookmark and go to properties. This along with the search keywords probably account for ~40% of my speed when surfing. (tabs account for a lot of the remaining 60%).
- LogicHoleFlaw 18y agoI assigned the letter 'b' to my corporate bugzilla. Now my coworkers wonder why I seem almost psychic when it comes to remembering the details of a given bug.... typing 'b 17084' is a fantastic way to pull up bug 17084. I've got shortcuts for wikipedia and google as well.
