Show HN: Haxplore – Browse HN with your keyboard (pabue.co)
3 points by pabue on Dec 11, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments



Haxplore is a little web app I created because I didn't like to click around the HN interface to read submission and discussions. I also wanted to experiment with different ways of implementing keyboard control in web apps and HN seemed like the perfect test subject. So maybe it's useful for some of you too.

The most important features are:

- Link detection in comments (Use your number keys to open them directly)

- Better readbility and formatting of comments (Like highlighted quotes)

- Hotkeys to perform common actions

- Ability to open comments in a separate modal for reading long texts


Very nice to use. Only request would be hjkl binds for navigation along with the arrows

Great job!


Nice to hear, thank you! I just added navigation via the HJKL keys. Btw, you can also use WASD to navigate.
