Read Hacker News faster

I agree with this. I come to hacker news not for the crappy blogspam but for the comments created by the crappy blogspam.
I really like this tool so adding some good comment features would keep me coming back.

I'm using an experimental Firefox add-on that shows the comments in the right pane - they can expand / collapse. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hacker-news-r...
Read Hacker News much much faster : http://hn.premii.com/
Read all the Tech News much much faster : http://skimfeed.com/
yes, I love this too. Why I build my own because hn.premii.com take off all the css and others in HTML, and some website it cannot be parsed.
So I use the iframe to build Coder's Read. But I am still using hn.premii.com when I use mobile.

Ah, looks great but as a compulsive click-and-select-bits kind of reader, that popup menu drove me crazy
Cannot select / change articles via keyboard, either.
I still much prefer http://hckrnews.com
Looks so much nicer than any of the others IMO and is easy to filter. I wish all news sites were setup like that.
Edit: I love to see all the things people do with HN even if I don't use them. Does anyone have a list of HN augmenting sites?

I like using cheeaun's mod for mobile since it parses the comments in a similar clean way, and the Hacker News Enhancement Suite for Chrome [2].

Some apps based on the official HN API are listed here:

How do I get to the comments?
This actually doesn't much match my reading style - I like to scan the front page for stuff that looks interesting and then read it in a new tab, which works just fine when I right click links.

I get an error in latest ff beta :
also, when loading the first article :
"Bootstrap's javascript requires jQuery" (main.js line 160)
also, when loading the first article :
"Load denied by X-Frame-Options: https://code.google.com/p/omaha/ does not permit cross-origin framing."A lot of the unicode characters don't show up for me (ex. share buttons, whatever is next to the date @ top left)...
use font-awesome?

yes, what browser do you use?
Same for me. Running Firefox on Windows 7.
Running firefox nightly on linux mint
This kind of two-pane layout looks great on large screens but is unusable on mobile (my Nexus 5, at least). Are there any good approaches that don't involve making a separate mobile layout?
Maybe a mobile-only button to expand the sidebar, and then the list of articles takes up the full screen, sliding away after an article is selected?

It is a general approach to make mobile user happy. But using iframe on mobile is horrible UX. so... no idea on it yet.

I made something similar at hkrnews.com but SameOrigin policy blocks 30% of articles. One way to get around it is whateverorigin.com

Keyboard bindings, especially for the left column, are sorely missing. Having to pick up the mouse each time you want to switch the article (or whatever) is a real pain in the abdomen.
If you are using Chrome I can recommend Vimium. It's great!
This way you can browse every website without ever using your mouse.

Thanks for the tip! Sadly, I'm too private & paranoid to be using Chrome on a regular basis.
thanks for your feedback, it is on my todo list!
This is basically a test of who's set their x-frame headers or not. So the google link doesn't work, and everything that does is vulnerable to clickjacking.
agree. But I am not going to grep the content into my database to hack the sameorigin policy as it is the rule of internet. But I'm still finding the solution of detection of sameorigin error, so I can notice use to ask them to open it on the new tab.
FWIW I've had a similar side project for a while; I opted for using the main display area to show the headline, full url, and links to comments (and recently, comments from other sites). Up/down arrows navigate and return key opens the article in a new tab.
It's a nice balance between easily navigating articles, and not getting in the way too much. But that might be entirely personal taste.

it group the hacker news by date. you can select the day by clicking here: http://cdn.codersgrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Coders-...
and thanks!
and thanks!
Which endpoint do you use to filter by date?
I'd love to have a way to navigate with the J/K keys. This is neat.
Thank you for your feedback.
Apart from J/K, any other suggestions? up/down, cmd+T, cmd+F, cmd+c ?

If you live on the other side of the world, filtering by date is an issue. If you connect from Asia and with most of the activity on HN coming from the US, there is little to see during our mornings. I expect to see what I have missed on the last 24 hours without have to change the date manually.
Perhaps you can show a the top 10 (or 20, or xx) of the previous day with visual separation so that I know if was submitted earlier.

I think Up/Down would be better.
I'm here for the community and comments more than the links.
I didn't know before that someone can scrape or access HN's API to retrieve it contents. Is is actually legal?
I'm so fascinated by the news here that I haven't yet figured out how the site works so far.

There is an official HN API - no need to scrape. :-)

genius
1. Make the comments number a link to load the comments page directly.
2. Allow the right pane to split to show comments above/below the actual web page
