User reviews

Hi great UX! It is fast too! But, can you fix the TAB TITLE? I tried to bookmark some HN items I like, but sometimes the title of the bookmark is just "Hacker News", which is not helpful. This is not a thing when you click the "n comments" to open it in the side, only when I opened it in the new tab. I don't mind with the HN icon though.

Cleverly simple, intuitive, updated quite timely. Really like it.
