If you want HN to work like Reddit, why not just create Reddit.com/r/hn and have a crosspost bot sync the sites? No client side software needed.

- habosa 14y agoThat would be a really cool project, but certainly a lot more work than my <100 line Chrome plugin. Maybe the HNSearch guys could do that, they already pull down all the data from the site. It would also be very hard to get the votes/comments to mirror.
- publicfig 14y agoI don't think this is just in the vein of Reddit, but just an interactive experience many expect when using comment forms. There are a few things I wouldn't mind HN grabbing from Reddit (and many more things I want to stay as far away as possible), but this was, by no means, something I thought of as an exclusively "Reddit" feature. While I understand Reddit has this capability, it's hardly specific.
