I would just have 1 improvement for HN: add category tags to each post. The reasoning is that what typically piques my interest may not always be the most voted or most commented posts.
I also want this improvement via a Chrome Extension - so I don't need to remember a new site. (most of my HN experience is via Desktop)
- BurningFrog 1y agoThis is a genuinely good idea, it also seems fairly simple to implement. To keep it simple, it has to be up to the poster to pick category tags.
- canucker2016 1y agoMy yearning for the "good ol days" got me thinking of repurposing HN as a Usenet clone. New HN posts would be categorized into one of the old Usenet newsgroups via AI. You'd only see posts for your subscribed newsgroups. Add some keyboard navigation - spacebar for the win - and maybe tweak the UI for a more monochrome monitor vibe.

- j45 1y agoTags could work very well to filter, they could also sub-divide the audience and attention too much unintentionally.
