Since we are suggesting changes: I often find myself deep in a thread and realize it is not interesting for me anymore. Moving "up" to the next "level 1" is difficult, I have to scroll and scroll and scroll, ah crap, I missed the right indentation.

Adding a way to get to the next root comment would be awesome.



I click “parent” and then collapse the thread to achieve what you want.

The nice part is the HN “remembers“ collapsed threads next time you load the thread so you can continue to ignore them.


Oh thank you thank you thank you - so many years with HN and I never knew that trick!

If someone jumped on an implementation - no more needed :)
