What's New in HN Lens

1.0.19

June 17, 2026

This update brings a few highly-requested quality-of-life improvements to make skimming stories and generating your Overview digest even better! • Expanded Story Titles: We've increased the line limit on story titles in both the main News feed and Bookmarks. Titles now display up to four lines before truncating, giving you much more context at a glance without having to tap into the article. • Overview Feed Customization: You can now tailor exactly what goes into your AI-generated Overview digest! Head over to Settings to find the new "Overview Filters" section, where you can easily exclude "Show HN" posts, "Ask HN" posts, and Twitter/X links from your digest. (Don't worry, these stories will still appear normally in your regular News feed). • Settings Polish: We reorganized the Settings menu to make it a bit more intuitive to navigate and manage your cache.
