Ask HN: Ideas to Improve HN
3 comments
Clicking on a link and having it open in a new tab/window should be a user profile setting that's turned off by default so the current behavior remains the same, but users that prefer this behavior can override the default.
Re-Idea: Agree, sounds useful.
Validation: I would suggest first time someone clicks a headline after the feature is live — that by default before opening a new window the user gets an alert allowing them to configure the setting and confirmation they understand how to edit it later if needed.

- IDEA: Rewrite HN in Crank.js
- VALUE: It would be cool if HN used native JavaScript features
- ESTIMATES: Week, people rewrite HN all the time shouldn't be that hard.
- VALIDATION: Should be able to tell from viewing in devtools.

Re-VALIDATION: This is about validation of the value of an idea, not technical validation.
“Who needs this and why” and “how will you know it has created value”

(1) Top-Level-Comment-Format:
- IDEA: (One sentence)
- VALUE: (who needs what and why)

- VALIDATION: How will you know success happened? How would you compare it’s success with prior efforts? How would you know to when to failure happens or related efforts should end? (EDIT: Clarification of meaning “validation” — that being the topic of validation is limited to validation of the “value” not validation of anything else, including but not limited to validation of a given implementation technically, roadmap, etc.)
One idea per top-level comment to enable clear understanding of votes.
