About this plugin
Scrolling through Hacker News in a browser means juggling tabs, losing your place in deeply nested threads, and context-switching every time you want a hand understanding a technical detail. dsh-hackernews-reader folds the entire reading experience into a focused standalone desktop window, where you can browse all six feeds (Top, New, Best, Ask HN, Show HN, Jobs), search by relevance or newest-first, and read long posts and multi-level comment trees without ever leaving the reader.
Tight integration with DeepDeck AI conversations is the other headline feature: hit Summarize on any story or Explain with AI on a comment, and the content flows straight into a dedicated session where the agent distills key points or unpacks jargon. The plugin also exposes read-only tools for feeds, search, stories, users, and UI context, so you can simply tell your agent to summarize the top stories from today and group them by topic in plain language.
Built for developers who rely on Hacker News daily for tech signals and open-source news, and who want a distraction-free reading environment paired with on-demand AI assistance without breaking their flow.
