When it comes to changing things on HN, I think something like comment collapsing would be much more helpful than de-dup (as some of the other comments mention), though I know there are extensions that help out.

That is, apparently, eventually, on the way, as is a mobile-friendly layout.

The staff are probably not looking forward to the day they deploy it and half the users lose their minds with impotent rage because the shibboleth of awkward UX is no longer there to drive away the casuals. Heaven help us if they implement thread folding in javascript...

An optional https://m.news.ycombinator.com/ with bigger font, and bigger vote buttons with better separation between them, would allow them to test how many users want a different UI.

We're not changing the look and feel of HN. New markup will look the same, just work better.
