✨ Hacker News, but refined — Interface tweaks and features to make the HN experience better
See: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
Edit: You can use the F12 debugging pane to adjust the width of a single tab without resizing the window. It's kind-of a hack, though.
Just push F12 and drag.
I like Refined Hacker News. https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
I use Refined Hacker News https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news which alleviates some pain points, but unfortunately it doesn't fix this issue.
Also chances are great that the AI just spit out some code from that extension… (Of course without attribution. Which would make it a copyright volition.)
I think you'd like "Refined Hacker News". It provides thoughtful, convenient enhancements but doesn't change the core HN experience.
I have this extension that highlights any new comments, which makes it a lot easier. https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
Install this and than look at the bottom of the page. :-D
And with https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news you get even nice gray boxes around code.
Enjoy!
Not sure if it is an HN API change or not, but feels like it.
It has some features like, if I select a part of a comment and hit reply, it will reply quoting that part
edit: oh, you're charging for it
anyway, my feedback is: there's a slow loading time whenever I open a link and I don't understand this
If anyone wants a quick, nice pop-up on mouse-over, there is 'Refinded Hacker News' plugin for Chrome and FF: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
I also have a bookmarklet to quickly toggle between https://hw.leftium.com and the original version.
Then I installed the Refined Hacker News extension: https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news
I use two services to get notified about replies to my posts/comments:
I discovered it a few days ago. It seems to include a "override CSS" box in the menu, allowing anyone to customize the look of HN.
Edit: I'm pretty pleased with my blue Space Invader!
Funnily, I’ve just discovered it here: `https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29314560`
It offers dark mode and many useful quality-of-life UI tweaks.
I've built my own private Chrome plugins, for example, to add to my experience to HN. I keep them private as I find it more respectful. With that said, I use the public Refined Hacker News [1] as well.
The fact that HN is conservative on changing its features is what I like about it. If I want a new feature, I'll build it myself.
Reading like that is something I've developed over time as I'm active on this site for more than 5 years now. I wouldn't recommend doing it, unless you think you might want to try it for fun. That's always a good excuse :)
For commenting myself on heavy contested topics, I comment on a parent if it's popular and my comment to it is related. When the parent isn't popular, I sometimes comment on it, depending on how relevant my comment is and how low it is.
:root,
html {
background-color: white;
filter: invert(100%);
}
* {
background-color: inherit;
}
The auth string of a story for "fave" is the same as the auth string for the "hide" and "flag" links (since they are already present, the links' hrefs contain that auth string), and so we can extract the auth string from their hrefs and use it for favoriting and un-favoriting.
Moreover, I've created a simple API which can be used to get all the favorited items of a user: https://github.com/plibither8/hn-faves-api
tr.athing td.title:not([valign="top"]) {
word-break: break-word;
}
