Dear HN. Please make the Hacker News header stick to the top of the browser
Dear HN team - please add the following styles to the top <tr> of the Hacker News UI so the header bar sticks to the top of the browser as we scroll down:
position: sticky;
top: 0;
z-index: 10;Why do people like this so much? It seems every web site does it these days and I HATE it personally.
It takes up precious screen space for something that isn’t useful enough to need to be on screen constantly. And I can always just tap the top of the screen to jump to the top in a fraction of a second.
Dear HN, please encourage more user control over the web instead. Wouldn't it be nice if it was easy to do this from within your own individual browser?
There are plenty of extensions and such to let you do stuff but it would be cool if it became easy and normal and built in for users to adjust and control their experience instead of all the ad- and spyware nonsense.
No thanks. You can do it client side if you care. Are you not a hacker?
Also voicing my opinion to please not do this. As a small phone + large font user, this would greatly reduce the amount of screen real estate. I think it would be a backwards step in accessibility for those with sight problems.
Please don't. It reduces size and it's not far to pull up quickly.
Please make an option to turn it off if it is to be implemented.
I threw this together a while back, use with Stylus extension[0]: https://pastebin.com/WzjQJ1Zp

Why do you need z-index?
