This is kind of interesting, but there's a lot of grey-on-grey on the top bar, and I'm not sure if it's an accident or not but the top bar extends down to underneath the first headline.

It would be neat if you moved the search somewhere more prominent too.

Hm, the top bar should not extend down to be underneath the first headline so that might be a bug. Mind taking a screenshot for me?

And I almost completely forgot about the search box, will fix it. Thanks.

I figured out what it is, it's the browser being zoomed in. When it's zoomed out it's right.

Could you by any chance make the source code easily accessible? I don't know about others, but I prefer to verify the source of any extensions that have access to sites into which I log in.

Table's <tr> height can be reduced, and add search on the top to the <tr> -> <td>

Nice. I had been using Georgify [0], but it doesn't display deeply nested comments well.

Edit: After a few minutes of clicking around, Georgify still feels prettier.

Nice, but it disables DTrejo's keyboard navigation extension. Can you please add J-walking?

Help from the DTrejo's extension:

    Current style of hotkeys: gmail style.

    Key — Action
    j — move down
    k — move up
    o — open / view comments
    enter — same as above
    r — reply to comment or post. Only works on article pages
    w — upvote (win)
    s — downvote
    Sample Workflow
    Hit news.ycombinator.com
    hit 'j' a few times to get to the 3rd post
    hit 'o' or 'enter' to view the comments
    hit 'o' again to read the article
    hit ctrl-w or cmd-w to close the tab
    hit 'j' to scroll down the rest of the comments
    hit 'r' to respond to someone who is wrong on the internet.

Interesting, I will look into this.

I'm not a huge fan, it's a cool plugin but I want to see HN, not Google.
