In the meantime, if you install the browser extension, you can get the tags directly in HN itself. Would that address the ui issue?

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hacker-news-t...
If you can figure out how to add the tags while keeping down the visual bloat I would consider a switch.
