I want hacker news UX to stay as it is, mostly, but these are features I'd welcome.

What features would you welcome?

Also "unread comment highlighting" would be so good to have.

That was actually kind of a pain to implement. Refined didn't do it fully, mine covers a lot more edge cases.

Can imagine!

All the features I've added to this extension.

But if you want to pick one: Inline replies.

Right now, I have to do a ton of magic to make that happen in order to work around your auth flow. Namely, pulling the auth token out of the other page and then having to keep track of it in session storage.

I could delete a whole lot of code if that was just built in.

By inline replies do you mean you click 'reply' and then a textbox opens in place?

The browser extension I wrote years ago, and which tomhow and I use for moderation, does this. I feel guilty about not having shared it a long time ago, but there just has never been time. Now that LLMs are starting to let me do things I've wanted to do for years, there's a chance I'll actually get to it before the sun dies.

Yes. Here is the implementation I've got... note that I also added links to the rules/guidelines in an attempt to help with that issue too, heh.

And yes... AI enables so many things.

Thanks. My feeling as well.
