Hacker News Reader

I've got a chrome extension called "hckr news". It shows you which comments on a HN thread that are new since the last time you visited that page. So far I'm liking it

I generally try and batch read HN (via rss) daily, and sometimes I feel that I am missing out on new comments (made after I finished reading and closed the tab; most commonly the new/recent posts)...would be nice to avoid bookmarking and searching for the new comments

I was thinking of this same problem yesterday. I will try to hack together a Firefox extension for this over the weekend to give the HN comments page Slashdot type filters (min. point thresholds), and date sorting.

Will post on HN if it works well.

Chrome can use Greasemonkey userscripts. Can you add collapse-able replies?

Good suggestion....will try to add that as well.

I built an extension for Chrome that lets you hide articles + collapse comments (HN HideIt); it's here: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dibillbafbngeilo...

Yeah, though reading is not so bad until you post a comment (like now), at which point you end up back at the top... An inline comment feature would be great.

yeh if anyone has a firefox extension to fix this then it annoys me as well.
