Refined Hacker News

Feature request: functionality to auto-hide articles from a user-configurable domain kill-list, for those of us who don&#x27;t want to see articles from e.g. Politico or Buzzfeed. Bonus points if it could also filter stories with user-configurable keywords in the title.<p>I&#x27;ve suggested this in the past to dang for the main HN UI, but they have limited resources for this sort of thing and there&#x27;s a fear that if filtering is too easy, it&#x27;ll split the community here.

I would greatly enjoy a comment-reply alert. Having to check my profile again and again to manually detect replies is not super efficient. Often I discover replies too late to engage an already gone replier.

Instead of requesting this or that, I would just like to say that this is great work presented in a very nice way. The effort put there is impressive :)

Hi all, developer of Refined Hacker News here! Happy to see that it has been posted about again, thanks @jaytaylor! As stated in my previous Show HN for this extension, my philosophy behind the extension (as mentioned in the my comment) is:<p>&gt; There are many extensions out there that add quite a few features to Hacker News, but they also always do one thing, which I have realised, is a slippery slope: changing the minimalistic design and style of Hacker News.<p>&gt; I created this extension with one thing in mind: I am NOT going to mess around with the overall design or style of Hacker News. It&#x27;s sacrosanct.<p>Thanks, I&#x27;m up for discussion! :D

These are some great additions. Thanks!

I need a filter to only show technical info from HN, like it was ten years ago :-)

I&#x27;d love to have dark mode feature.

Hacker news needs a redesign, the UI is horrible by basic accessibility standards: Very small click targets, horrible mobile experience, too small font size.
