On a totally unrelated side note, I profoundly want to thank you for pointing out that threads can be collapsed.

I am using GN since 2011 now and never knew this. I wondered how and just now realized the small '-' at the end of a comment headline. This was really a revelation to ne right now.

Have a great day.

There are also browser add-ons[0] which give HN quite a few QoL improvements. Similar to what RES does to Reddit.

For sure! Lots of new features are pretty subtle. Thread collapsing was added in.. 2016 or 2017, I think. It’s relatively recent, at least when viewed from HN’s total history.
