What's your biggest pain point when using Hacker News?
Me it's the lack of transparency regarding how stories are ranked.
If there was too much transparency marketers would try to game the system. It works well enough the way it is. But I have observed that stories in which the comments are unproductive or too heated tend to rank lower.
Will be nice to have option to search at own bookmarks only
Just found one.
Haven't been able to search Show HN in a thorough timeline, in order of submission, starting with current submissions going back very far at all.
"show" doesn't do it, "past" doesn't either.
Not being able to block posts or comments by some users.
I routinely fat-finger the hide button while browsing on my phone. I then need to fish the article out from somewhere within my profile.
Groupthink and heavy pro-establishment bias
I don't have any. It's my #1 go to news source
If there is a downvoting feature (which I consider contraproductive), there should also be an "unflagging" feature.
