This is how Hacker News looks like with my script: https://i.imgur.com/We97pJC.png
Numbers on the left (11, 12, 13) are shortcuts to open a thread (for example, pressing 14 opens the "Userscripts are fun..." thread).
Numbers after that (e.g. 65,20) are karma and number of comments, respectively.
Much more compact than the default layout and shows better which topics are hot.
