Now that I’ve had a closer look at https://www.orangecrumbs.com, I see that they’re trying to address the same problem: how to enhance the consumption of those valuable feeds and provide additional insights to their users.
I appreciate your proposal, and in a way, I’ve already explored a similar idea. However, for this concept to be successful, you’ll need a large screen, preferably wide. Unfortunately, I haven’t had a comparable good experience on mobile devices.
I’ll revisit this idea. Thank you for the feedback. However, I want to ensure that the reader remains focused. In today’s fast-paced world, everything revolves around quick consumption and filtering options. I wanted to create a quick way to scan and evaluate the content, followed by a simple way to immerse oneself in the article, read it, scan it, and check the comments.

Maybe the answer is a browser extension. "When an item is clicked, the new page reveals the linked article on the top half of the screen, and the item page on the bottom, with all the comments collapsed except the top-level comments."
I one-shotted it here but comment collapsing still not working. https://share.gemini.google/MGipfqAePHGG
It doesn't use screenshots either - maybe those could be inserted below each item?
How about having an extension that can slide open a sidebar and load top comments there when reading a linked article? It can also load screenshots too when looking at the HN list pages.

I didn't knew this project. Thank you for sharing. I'm always looking for better ways to consume / filter this amount of information.
Love the combination of simple and modern UI over HN. Not sure if this is just a demo or a final form, but I am lagging too much scrolling through the posts.
I assume the lag is browser-dependent. I don’t resize images for thumbnails. I want to keep this simple and cheap to maintain. My next step is to find an easy-to-maintain pipeline for generating screenshots and thumbnails.
As a new user here, this is fantastic. Not too over the top, a bit more information in the pictures. I'm digging it.
For HN Glance, perhaps there could be the list/previews column on the left, middle column for full-viewing with the right column as comments. Both 1st and 3rd columns can also be floating, and auto-hide when mouseover on the middle column and show again when mouseout.
