I'm rewriting it in Elm right now, so I want to avoid any js library. Also, the HN API doesn't allow auth, so you cannot submit or edit posts from any other app. But why would you want this? I mean do you write lengthy posts? Or do you post that often? I can imagine a very small percentage of users would use that feature.
