I don't know code, or I'd take a crack at this. I like the idea, and I think the more options people have to customize their own view of Steemit, the better. I don't have a problem with the view now, but I'd enjoy trying out a view that is more like the Drudge report. I think it would be cool also to have different filters, such as certain tags, or even filter in favor of the least performing stories (that way hidden gems could be discovered). And while you're at it, how about permalinking the comments so you can click on the comment you want to read (like how the first line shows up in your "replies" page) and land on the actual comment instead of the original article.
