Hacker Newsnew | past | comments | ask | show | jobs | submitlogin

My UX feedback is that I had a natural inclination to click on one of the response comments to my query and expected to be redirected to that hn post and if possible scrolled to the comment. I know why you might not want that but as long as you’re using query Params and not doing anything weird with browser history I’d almost certainly toggle back.

I could definitely use this as an alternative to hn algolia for some things but it’s going to be hard for me to remember. I’d recommend doing this as a browser extension or something so it’s not 100% lost in the void.



Thanks for the feedback! That feature is there, just not discoverable enough!

Try clicking on the relative time (e.g. "over 1 year ago"). Should take you immediately to that comment on HN, and you can then hit back in your browser to return to Hacker Search.

Agreed on the extension. That's coming next!
