# Description

Make Y Combinator's Hacker News website just a little friendlier to use.

Like many others, I enjoy the articles and even comments on Hacker News.

Out of all the community sites, their moderators do a great job at keeping

the signal-to-noise ration high.  The downside to Hacker News is the site

feels like it was built in the 90s: the ability to collapse threads was

added only in 2016.

Enhancements added:

* Keyboard navigation of index and item pages

* Additional thread functions (Expand All, Top Level) use Hacker New's built-in

	functions so everything is saved server-side

* Information for our enhancements (comment count, last ID, etc) are stored in

	Chrome's sync storage is everything stays in sync across machines.

Inspiration and bits shamelessly stolen from

* HNES

* Redit Enhancement Suite
