Ask HN: How would you redesign HN?

I would like to find ways to encourage conversations that are less rushed. Some of the most interesting replies come a day or two later, if there were a way to surface them, like threads but with the ability to skip threads with no changes since last checking, it would be nice.

Looking back through my threads, I'm surprised to learn that you can't reply after 15 days.

I made https://hnreplies.com/ some years ago to send you an email when someone replies to one of your comments. It helps with noticing those late replies.

Especially on threads with many comments (500+) with users being inside different timezones/activity rhythms or being subjected to time constraints as a reader.
