Interesting. Have you seen this? https://www.orangecrumbs.com/hn/

For HN Glance, perhaps there could be the list/previews column on the left, middle column for full-viewing with the right column as comments. Both 1st and 3rd columns can also be floating, and auto-hide when mouseover on the middle column and show again when mouseout.

Now that I’ve had a closer look at https://www.orangecrumbs.com, I see that they’re trying to address the same problem: how to enhance the consumption of those valuable feeds and provide additional insights to their users.

I appreciate your proposal, and in a way, I’ve already explored a similar idea. However, for this concept to be successful, you’ll need a large screen, preferably wide. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a comparable good experience on mobile devices.

I’ll revisit this idea. Thank you for the feedback. However, I want to ensure that the reader remains focused. In today’s fast-paced world, everything revolves around quick consumption and filtering options. I wanted to create a quick way to scan and evaluate the content, followed by a simple way to immerse oneself in the article, read it, scan it, and check the comments.

I didn't knew this project. Thank you for sharing. I'm always looking for better ways to consume / filter this amount of information.
I just created script for ViolentMonkey for viewing top comments in a sidebar.

used ChatGPT for this one - did much better than Gemini.

Love the combination of simple and modern UI over HN. Not sure if this is just a demo or a final form, but I am lagging too much scrolling through the posts.
I assume the lag is browser-dependent. I don’t resize images for thumbnails. I want to keep this simple and cheap to maintain. My next step is to find an easy-to-maintain pipeline for generating screenshots and thumbnails.
sure, good luck
As a new user here, this is fantastic. Not too over the top, a bit more information in the pictures. I'm digging it.
