HN needs a context reminder in the URL window

4 points by newsoftheday 24 days ago · 3 comments · 1 min read


On a lot of sites, like Reddit for example, on a long scrolled page I can look back at the URL window to remind myself what the context of the page is supposed to be about.

On HN, get way down the page with many comments and look up at the URL window and see just https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12345678.

It would be nice to see something like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12345678-story-title-here.

I guess dang never will add that, but you can make a browser extension and share it here. Some people may like it.

Would the context reminder not have been reading the article?
