Good idea, I will add that to a future version. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it :) Will add tooltips to icons in the next update + fix that 100% width bug too.

Also i would really like an option to being able to collapse comments just clicking the comment box/card Excellent work ~

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to make the space in the comment header clickable to collapse/expand, which will reduce the distance a bit. Would that work for you?

The other alternative might be to add a setting to move the collapse/expand arrow to be part of the icons on the right.

I would find it much more natural to have both expand/collapse and upvote/downvote on the left, simply because text is left-aligned.

I find any functionality pushed all the way to the right side to be harder to use, simply because it's not "together" with everything else on the left. Your eye has to do more work to match right-side content to left-side across a whitespace.

Yeah that makes sense. I'll add a setting to move vote icons to the left. Thanks.

It's a nice idea! One consideration would be how to grab the html of the pages. In my experience, using either fetch() or an ajax request often runs into problems with CORS etc on the destination site blocking the request.

Maybe there's a better way someone knows for extensions to grab remote html without running into these problems?

The alternative would be for the extension to grab the html via API from a crawler running on a server (or SaaS), which should work pretty well.

Yes, I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that extensions normally can avoid CORS/same-origin/etc issues.

Oh like 'https://myplainwebsite.com/parse?url=https://example.com/doc...'

So I just launched this inspired on our brief conversation! :)

https://content-parser.com/

You can parse any URL into markdown with `https://content-parser.com/markdown?url={encodeURIComponent(...}`.

That's awesome, works really well! Good luck with it :)

Thanks, glad to hear it helps :) Good point, they should be separate settings. I'm going to add more theme adjustment settings in future updates to solve that.

Yeah forgot to add visited link color, it's coming in the next update :)

Thanks, glad you're enjoying it :) Good suggestions, I will try to make the commenting process clearer, and add a favorite icon to the lists too.

- Good point, I'll add a setting in the next update to always show icons.

- Parent / context are in the menu just to keep the design clean. But I understand that's not what everyone wants, so I will add a setting to show these with the other icons, instead of in the menu.

- Prev / next are moved to the "control pad" (pro feature), but my intention is for the free version to support all current HN features, so I will add those back in the next update.

- The permission to firebase is to access the HN API [1] to grab user profile info etc. The other is for the pro upgrade using ExtPay [2]

Thanks for the feedback, glad you like it!

- Will definitely add tooltips and have a think about how to make the reply process clearer.

- I'd like to make the top nav customizable at some point, so when I do I'll add options for the account sections (threads etc). Will add a setting to show karma next to the user icon too.

- Yeah a couple of others have requested that too. The next logical step is a theme editor, which would allow changing border colors etc. It's on the TODO :)

- Yes that should be there, will add it back in the next update.

Thanks for the suggestions, glad you like it.

The theme settings (font size/width/line height) apply to the current view. So you can setup the style separately for each of the 3 views: story pages + index pages (list or table view).

I'll add all this info to the help section shortly.

Will also add tooltips to the sliders (with current value) in the next update + a reset button :)
