I don’t understand the register and login part. Does creating a new account here mean this is some splinter project that has its own separate account system or is it tied to an actual HN account?
- eranation 4y agoYeah, had the same question. But from their about page: > The interface also allow to comment, post and interact with the original HN platform. Credentials are stored locally and are never sent to any server, you can check the source code here: https://github.com/GabrielePicco/hacker-news-rich https://github.com/GabrielePicco/hacker-news-rich.

The only way to be confident is to vet the actual code that runs, which would also require content-based whitelisting (if the code served changes, refuse to run until the new code is vetted), something that I’m not aware of any browser, browser extension or other tool capable of doing.
