Dark Mode. And Follow User would be two feature I have been using for years with other tools.
- jedberg 1y agoFollow user is antithetical to the idea of HN -- content should be upvoted because of what it says, not who said it. But I agree dark mode would be nice.
- skydhash 1y agoI believe HN's HTML structure is simple enough to overwrite with custom CSS on the browser end.
- jedberg 1y agoSure, but I use at least five different browsers for HN, some on my phone. That’s a huge pain. Being able to check a profile box would be a lot easier.
- freedomben 1y agoGenuinely curious, why do you use so many different browsers for HN?
- jedberg 1y agoFair question. I use HN Replies, which emails me when people reply to me. On my computer, if I click the link in the email, it opens in Chrome. But on my computer my normal browser for HN is Safari. I use separate browsers for different things on my computer, so Safari is for HN and reddit, Chrome is for Google apps, like gmail etc., and Firefox for everything else. So sometimes I also get into HN via Firefox if I'm there an happen to type the URL or get a link. Then on the phone, Safari is again the default browser, but if I click a link from the gmail app it opens in mobile Chrome. So to use a plugin to change anything, I'd have to have the plugin on all five browsers.
- 0xpgm 1y agoComments by people with more points to their name are (or at least used to be) promoted higher, which naturally leads to more upvotes. So there's still an element of who says it that matters
- dang 1y agoComments have never been ranked differently on HN based on karma.
- quantadev 1y agoA 'Block User' feature would be nice. We don't have that feature do we? HN is full of trolls who fly just below the radar of what level of rudeness it takes to get kicked off.
