I like the functions you added in. Here's a few constructive criticisms:
1. I don't want to use this because it doesn't feel like I'm on Hacker News. I miss the orange. This is obviously subjective.
2. It's mildly annoying to have a hover bubble crop up when I trail the mouse across a user name without meaning to. It's distracting. Maybe you could add a higher threshold for registering the hover? This way it's deliberate most of the time.
3. The endless scrolling isn't as seamless as I would hope. I find this is a common problem with "endless" pages - it never loads before you reach the end of the page, which gives a slight refractory period where you've very aware you've reached the "end" of the page.
I mean overall I'd use it if it still fit the color scheme. Just some food for thought. Good job :)
- BHSPitMonkey 14y agoAgreed on all counts; It would be great to see these things toggleable on a basic settings page for the extension.
- lucaspiller 14y agoI would like to see the orange in the extension too. Other than that I have no complaints.
- tommoor 14y agoPeople you follow are highlighted orange, as the only orange is your own stuff, the logo and these people it makes sure they stand out :-)
- marknutter 14y agoI agree completely with #1, although I disagree with most people that HN is a pleasant design. It's ugly as sin, as is Reddit, but they are link sharing sites, so it doesn't really matter what they look like so long as they make it easy to share links. People have grown used to the way it looks (as have I, despite hating the way it looks) so deviating from that is always met with resistance. If this were my plugin, I would not alter the look and feel of the site at all (much like the Reddit Enhancement Suite does not) but I would provide the ability to toggle the current design alterations on for those who want a more pleasant experience. That would increase your adoption rate, I'm sure.
