- Major innovation: [Page Down] for mobile. I wish all sites had this: just tap the gray region to precisely scroll that item to the top.
- Defaults to all front page items in (hckr news[1]) reverse chronological order. But also supports the official HN "top" ranking (as well as most of the other "lists"[2])
- Interesting stories highlighted: point/comment icons turn orange after passing 50. The number also turns orange after passing 100.
- Extra info shown (when possible.) Good examples here: https://hn.leftium.com/hckrnews/2025.10.20
~ Last week a front page submission got 107 points before being killed. Besides the vote count, we can still see the domain.
~ The deltas after the time are how much time the story took before reaching the front page. Large times indicate the story was probably "re-upped," so they are highlighted. (Some human decided this item was worth inserting into the front page)

Currently individual item rendering is not implemented; I simply defer to to the previous version, but I plan some major innovations when rendering items, too.
