Better HN

Hacker News is one of the best signal sources on the internet. The reading experience is not. Better HN reimagines the interface — multiple view modes, keyboard-first navigation, spotlight search, threaded comments, and a full settings surface — all while keeping the original site as the data source. Built by Hane as a tool the studio uses daily.

• Multiple view modesCards, list, and table. Switch with a single keystroke.
• Keyboard navigationj/k to move, o to open, c for comments, s to save, / for spotlight.
• Spotlight searchFilter by title, domain, or author — no page reload.
• Threaded commentsReconstructed comment trees with depth tracking and collapse controls.
• Feed sort modesDefault, points, comments, and velocity.
• Auth-gated flowsVote, save, and comment without leaving the page.
