you'll have more luck with a chrome extension. this place will never do such a thing. "they know best", they will never change from an outside suggestion.

in case you haven't noticed the forum culture is not flexible. hn is a very specifically flawed lens to the world. they're not about to "fix" anything because "nothing is broken"

they will patiently explain to you why you're wrong, then get on with being the unchanging same thing they are.

a funny paradox. a non innovating lens onto a "highly innovative" part of the world.

We actually suggested to floatingatoll that he post this submission, as part of an email conversation we were having. I'm not closed to trying experiments like this.

Would you please stop creating all these accounts and, especially, stop breaking the site guidelines on a regular basis? That's something we actually do feel strongly about.
