HN Sidebar от Sean

Read the article and its Hacker News discussion at the same time.

HN Sidebar puts the real, fully interactive Hacker News comments in your browser's native sidebar. Open a story from HN, continue to the article, and open the sidebar—the matching discussion appears automatically.

Read comments without switching tabs.
Stay signed in to your existing Hacker News account.
Vote, reply, comment, favorite, and follow discussion links normally.
Open the full HN thread in the current tab with one click.
Use Chrome/Edge's native side panel or Firefox's native sidebar.
No accounts, analytics, tracking, advertisements, or external backend.
No access to article websites.


HN Sidebar shows the actual Hacker News page rather than scraping or recreating the discussion. Hacker News remains the source of truth for accounts, votes, comments, and navigation.

HN Sidebar is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Hacker News or Y Combinator.
