I've been working on and off on a Chrome Extension for Hacker News, the extension focusses on improved usability rather than design. I can almost guarantee that after a day you won't want to go back to regular Hacker News. Give it a try, features include:
- Improved readability
- Quick inline replies from comments page
- Quick profiles with social network info when hovering over usernames
- Filtering of stories based on terms and phrases / domain or user
- Endless scrolling
- Collapsible comment threads
- Social sharing for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Buffer
Forks, improvements and comments welcome:
