Great plugin. I primarily use http://hckrnews.com http://hckrnews.com to browse HN submissions ( <-- this site is great. If you don't use it, you're missing a lot IMO ) and its extensions for Safari: http://hckrnews.com/about.html http://hckrnews.com/about.html Both have great ideas, and I think pg should adopt one of them (though I know he won't). I hate it when I use my iPad for browsing HN. Comments are small, up/down-vote arrows are minuscule, and you can't use these highly-useful plugins. And I've tried about a dozen different clients so far. None of them offer anything like http://hckrnews.com http://hckrnews.com (a chronological timeline of submissions), so I keep coming back to Safari... :(

  For iOS, http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/ http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/ is great. Adapts the layout to your device.

I always wonder why Hacker News is not developed as an open source project. This seems like a natural approach for such community, especially taking into account that pg has no time/interest to drive it himself.

  It is open source: http://arclanguage.org/install http://arclanguage.org/install Though, I doubt pg accepts "pull requests" or anything. He likes the site the way it is, apparently (I don't like HN to have a million share buttons either, but I do want a few things added that would make life for thousands of HN visitors much easier).

    I really doubt pg likes the fact that HN is so painful to use on mobile, and this is just one example. I understand that he doesn't have time to work on the site himself, but he should at least consider appointing some "community committee" consisting of trusted users who are willing to help. Sometimes letting go is best.
