# hakkkrnooz Alternative interface to Hacker News. Live at [http://hakkkrnooz.herokuapp.com](http://hakkkrnooz.herokuapp.com) I made this so that I could read Hacker News comments: a) Breadth-first, if I choose, rather than depth-first. b) Using the keyboard. Navigate stories and comments with the arrow keys (or h-j-k-l, if you roll that way). Comments are a tree that expands out to the right. Press enter on story to open it in a new tab. That's about all there is to it. Enjoy. ## TODO * Make columns scroll individually, so that the active comment is lined up with its parent. * Handle too-fast keying - double-right, etc. * Handle timeouts when scraping HN. * Stop the header from overlapping comments. * Add "About" - basic help. * Handle mouse clicks. * Show age, domain, link usernames to profiles. * Show user images? * Set cache-control headers - take advantage of varnish on heroku. * Keep track of read/unread. Use localStorage. * Configurable - allow some per-user configuration? * Use show already-read comments - collapsed, dimmed? * Allow posting of comments? * Live updates - insert new comments as they arrive. * Bug: horizontal scrollbar on some comment blocks * Keep data on the server - historical points, rankings, ... * Show trend for stories - page-position over time, points over time, ... * Mobile - touch-friendly version? ## License Copyright (C) 2012 Chris Perkins Distributed under the MIT license.
