Ask HN: Is there a dual pane version of HN?

4 points by DiabloD3 15 years ago

I find HN to be the most invaluable website I visit on a daily basis, however interacting with HN usually involves multiple tabs and flipping back and forth if I want to comment on a URL/story.

Has anyone produced a dual pane version of HN that puts HN on the left, and the clicked URL on the right?

There is a Chrome plugin that does this: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/plldnnbdlbgbiknj...

Ahh, very interesting, but I'm not on Chrome. There doesn't seem to be a similar plugin for Firefox.

This is super crude, but something I just hacked up-

I've always kind of wished web browsers had a built-in split-pane feature so I can keep one tab always open within the window.
