I've been using this for awhile now as my primary HN front-page interface, for several reasons: - easier to read - mobile-browser friendly - auto refreshes - preserves articles that make it to the front page, and in (reverse) order of the time they made it to the front page, so no need to constantly check the front page and parse all of its contents to see if new articles are posted cf. http://www.hckrnews.com/about.html http://www.hckrnews.com/about.html a big Thank You and kudos to its author(s) and maintainer(s)-- it works well and consistently!

I generally like the original interface, but I hate to have to re-scan all the titles in the home page to find out which ones are new. So I built this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-mark-all-read/ogfbcfkihdkplelnaenpgkhnkpoaggjc https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-mark-a...

    That button shows you new submissions, even if they got no votes. Pretty different thing!

Funny how it still shows the link to the below story that got buried by the flamewar detector. "I lost years’ worth of Google Docs files because of a poor user interface" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6612854 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6612854

  that's a feature. with hckrnews you get to see all the articles, even if they were only on the front page for a short time. for me, that's the biggest advantage it has over the main site.
