Wow, thanks! Don't worry, I will definitely keep working on it. With all that great feedback I don't think I have any other choice. ;)

Thank you for liking it :D 1. The alt+h hotkey will be probably be replaced by "?". That should fix this. 2.1 That's a pretty cool idea. Would you want the "mark as read" part to happen automatically or manually? 2.

That was definitely an important aspect while building it. I'm also glad the HN api is so damn fast.

In the beginning it was so bad on mobile that it was actually completely unusable. I think it's still not very good but at least it's somewhat usable. A keyboard is definitely the recommended input device. ;)

Thanks. I'll think about making some elements clickable. But if some are clickable and some are not it might be even more confusing if non of the elements are clickable. So I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I'll consider

Thank you! I was actually thinking about adding support for reddit. Might add that in the future.

Wow, that's so nice to hear. Thank you! That's actually a great idea. If you say "high density", do you mean just less whitespace/spacing or should stuff like the upvotes, author and date be completely removed from

Oh, that should not happen. Thanks for the report, I'm gonna look into it.

Thank you! For the compliment, the bug report and the fix. :D

Thanks! You're right, that part is a bit weird. I added that in the last moment and didn't really spend much time on making in good.

You can actually press spacebar to open a comment inside a modal where you can scroll. Wow, thank you very much! :D

I will definitely continue working on this. It's great to hear that people actually enjoy using it. I actually moved it to a separate domain, because I don"t think people will remember haxplore.pabue.co when they think about HN. Y

Currently it's Vue 2, JS and Tailwindcss. However I will upgrade it to Vue 3 and Typescript soon.

Wow, thank you!

Thank you. Paging is something I actually wanted to add at the beginning but then I tought it wouldn't be necessary for an experiment like that. I'm also not quite sure how it would look or work ui wise.

Thank you. I'm using Vue 2 and Javascript, because I actually started this project a while ago. I will probably upgrade it to Vue 3 and Typescript soon. FOr the styling I'm using Tailwindcss. It's currently not open source bu

Makes sense, gonna add that. Thanks.

At some point during development you could actually see all the columns clearly and most of the screen space was used but it was very disorienting, at least for me. That's why I removed it. But I guess some people think differently, so

The previous item (or parent comment) is always visible in the white box on top/above the current comment. But it's quite easy overlooked because the change from the article/link to the comment is not very noticable.

A guided tour is a good idea. I thought about that too but figured it would be too much for an experiment like that. Maybe I was wrong.

Noted, thank you!

Thank you! Gonna fix that later.

1. I initially wanted to display as little information as possbile to keep it clean and prevent clutter, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to show at least the comments count. 2. Oh, I didn't notice that. Might be caused by the way the

You can see the current parent comment on top in the white box as soon as you navigate 'into' a comment. It is truncated by default but you can toggle it with the P key. Thank you! Oh and page up / down is noted and will be a

Oh, good catch. Mobile is not really a priority right now, but I'm gonna take a look at it later.

That's a pretty cool idea. I'm gonna look into that. Thanks!

Definitely gonna add an optional dark mode soon!

Thank you very much! Good question. The content part is actually moved left and right using CSS transforms. The sliding animation is just a result of adding a transition for this property. Hope this helps. Otherwise just ask ;)
