Hey cool, I created this :) How did you find it? It's still buggy. I was going to release it in a couple of weeks. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I did a google search for my username and found it. I like it. news.ycombinator.com sucks with the iPhone and I like your site a lot better - much easier to read. Sorry to force you into the spotlight early, but it seems to work fine for me. It makes reading hacker news on the iPhone A LOT better. Thanks for creating it.

  Not a problem. Glad you enjoy it :)

  Personally, I prefer this layout on my computer too (except for the lack of a bigger left margin).

I've been using this from my iPhone for a few weeks after stumbling upon it from your profile page. Thought it was public knowledge or I would've submitted it myself! =]

This does exactly what it should and no more. Great job.

UPDATE: Hey everyone, I've updated iCombinator with a couple of things: 1. http://icombinator.net/ http://icombinator.net/ now forwards to http://www.icombinator.net/ http://www.icombinator.net/ GAE doesn't allow naked domains anymore 2. Added an icon for the web clip 3. Enabled standalone status (thanks doctyper!) Anyone have better artistic skills for the icon? I'm open to suggestions :)
