Hacker News in Sidebar Autor: semanticdata

A Firefox Extension to display Hacker News within the Firefox sidebar. This extension adds a new section to the sidebar which contains the Hacker News website. It also adds a shortcut, and a button toggle within the toolbar.

How to use

1. Toggle the sidebar by pressing Alt+Shift+9. This shortcut can be changed by going to Add-ons -> Hacker News in Sidebar -> Options.
2. If you prefer buttons over shortcuts, there is a toolbar button you can press to toggle the sidebar.

How to Unlock Firefox Sidebar Width
The sidebar's width is locked by default in Firefox. Unfortunately, the sidebar is very restricted and I can only do so much to enhance the functionality of this extension. I put together a step-by-step guide on how to unlock the sidebar width on my website.

Disclaimer
This Add-on is primarily for personal use; a personal project if you will. I'm just trying to use Hacker News on the Firefox sidebar. This add-on just launches their website in the sidebar. This extension is an independent project, has no relationship, and is not affiliated to Hacker News in any way.
