- (2023-09-03) Abhisek Padhi: Makes reading HN comfortable and easy on the eyes.
- (2023-08-10) Ben Finch: Excellent! I couldn't stand hacker news before this.
- (2023-07-06) Daniel Castillo: Why the theme fails to load when I press the "More" button? It happens to me in Chrome and Edge.
- (2023-06-30) Kris S.: Very nice looking, and good amount of customization available. I would love to see more features added, like vertical lines that link parent and child comments, and button that opens the link and comments at the same time (like Reddit Enhancement Suite l+c button)
- (2023-06-06) Zion Yang: I like it!
- (2023-04-24) paranoid: simply does everything it needs to do
- (2023-04-10) J K: Works well on the front page of HN, but often when I browse to the second page it will just render the native HN page inside of a frame, which defeats the purpose of using this extension. Reloading the page doesn't fix it. So for me, this extension is only useful for browsing the front page of HN.
- (2023-03-16) Nikolay Kolev: I have the paid version and the extension is broken since November 2022 and the developer does not care to fix it.
- (2023-02-21) Hursh Soni: WOAH, first time reviewing an extension. This is just awesome!!
- (2023-01-22) Cameron Pak: absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Inspirational to a fellow Chrome ext dev!
- (2023-01-09) Byte XD: I loved this extension since the first minute of using it. I had been using dark mode up until today, and somehow ended up trying multiple extensions because I wanted an easier way to read direct comments, one after another. Although this extension doesn't offer that, it has other features that I didn't know I needed. I never realized that it's somewhat painful to read HN discussions - I kept reading them because the content is amazing. However since using this extension I'm reminded how important it is to have a simple and clean UI. Features I love: - Adjustable theme, from light to dark, with 5 preset themes - Adjustable font size, line spacing, and content area width (I didn't anticipate how much more readable HN becomes thanks to these, and how much more enjoyable the experience is now) - Very clean and intuitive interface - Bookmark submissions and comments - Option to switch back to classic view
- (2022-11-14) 伍玖: Version (v1.12) is not working again today (tried on Edge & Chrome).
- (2022-09-29) JiSeop Han: its not working except comments
- (2022-09-21) Aade: Good job, -but links to visited sites should be dimmed-. Edit: fixed, +1
- (2022-09-13) Zdravko Ćurić: Awesome extension! Can you add like different background color for each reply level on comments so it's easier to track conversation? :)
- (2022-09-09) Serda Simus (iamserda): Fantastic Job!
- (2022-09-09) rodrigo joordan torres lopez: Gran extension,Felicidades por el trabajo
