   Thanks for your suggestion! I have a tweet button but it's only on "# mentions" pop-up.

   Thanks for your feedback! I use HNSearch API https://www.hnsearch.com/api to get submissions and comments. And then Amazon API to normalize and get meta info.

   Thanks for your feedback! Now I use number of mentions, aggregated points, number of users and their aggregated karma to build lists of top items.

    What do you think about having two links side-by-side (affiliate and non-affiliate)? Or having a global swith to turn on/off affiliated links?

    Thanks for your feedback! I'm very bad at design so I kept UI as minimal as possible. But I will try to iterate on it. I like your idea about shading.
