Question: Why do you call the site a startup? Are you planning on turning it into a business?

  Unless I'm missing something, he called it a service...

    There's a picture on the front page that says "Wait, what does your startup do? So basically it's like a Twitter for Hacker News.".

      That's a reference to a previous satirical service we made, http://itsthisforthat.com http://itsthisforthat.com

I've just tried hackerfollow.com and found a bug with self posts: After entering a login phrase I see all of PG's comments and posts. Many of the posts are discussions on HN (eg http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1861577 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1861577), which gets linked to http://hackerfollow.com/comments/1861577 http://hackerfollow.com/comments/1861577, which in turn shows an "500 Internal Server Error".
