Nope but I want one for Firefox mobile to make certain things more thumb friendly like upvoting or collapsing threads

I had added a text to the `url` field when creating this post, but it appears it's not included. Let me paste it below.

I have started to follow Hacker News more than ever, and a few challenges that I have are: no dark mode, when creating a discussion, there is no easy way to add new lines (no multi-line input field), hard to identify OP's comments in a thread, etc. In other words, I am generally wondering if there are extensions out there to improve the default HN experience.

What do you mean? The text field on https://news.ycombinator.com/submit is five lines and scrolls if you add more lines.

Oh, thanks! I was using the bookmarklet to create text posts. The submit link that you shared does seem to have a multi-line input.
