HN isn't stealing the conversation, nor is there any reason for the OP to request, expect, or wish that the comments here are actually posted there.
If this was a YouTube video, man, you'd want nothing to do with those comments. In either case, the comments originate from whatever place hosts the discussion. It's like thinking window should go into the store. But that's not what they're doing -- they're window shopping.
- brandnewlow 18y agoWe've got trackbacks and tweetbacks. This widget would give you "hack backs." People write stuff for a variety of reasons, but often because they want to say stuff and have people respond to it. This guy wrote something and people are responding to it someplace other than the forum he created for the discussion. That's fine and all, but it sucks for him. I get that. A little widget that at least says the post's on HN and has 14 comments, would be really useful. I send my journalism buddies over here all the time to read what you guys have to say about media/industry news. Would be neat to be able to branch that out a bit.
