I find HN to be the most invaluable website I visit on a daily basis, however interacting with HN usually involves multiple tabs and flipping back and forth if I want to comment on a URL/story.

Has anyone produced a dual pane version of HN that puts HN on the left, and the clicked URL on the right?



view as:


Ahh, very interesting, but I'm not on Chrome. There doesn't seem to be a similar plugin for Firefox.


Also, it'd be nice to be able to queue stories I want to read, so I could single click through both item pages and the URL itself (left/right, queue at top in a third pane?) to optimize HN use flow on the days that HN has a lot of interesting things.

Although, I'll admit, that is really upping the complexity of HN.


This is super crude, but something I just hacked up-

I've always kind of wished web browsers had a built-in split-pane feature so I can keep one tab always open within the window.
