News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

A comment on HNWatcher: track keywords and follow users on Hacker News.

Re:HNWatcher: track keywords and follow users on Hacker News by Sujan on Wednesday July 24, 2013 @01:30PM (#6097588)
Feedback:

- Autofocus on input field in modal windows after clicking "Follow a new HackerNews user".

- Remember my checkbox selection in the same modal window

- Favicon!

- Autofollowing e.g. "pg" could improve onboarding

- Design is not very content focused right now, I would probably switch the middle and right column

- Highlight found keywords in comment text

- Notify/show me if someone replied to one of my comments

- Modify title depending on what is shown (Right now following.php always shows "HackerNews users I follow" even when I have selected a specific one)

Thank you for the feedback Sujan! Be sure we will work on this this week-end :)

PS: we highlight the keywords only when you click on the specific keyword for now.But not on the "All" sub-tab.

Ah I see. Why not? It would be especially useful there.

And I just noticed you remove all linebreaks in the output of comments right now. Intentional or bug? Makes for some quite unstructured reads with e.g. patio11's texts.

No reason, just we did not have the time to do it :) It's on our TODO!

Perfect, much better. The keywords.php is now actually useful.
