Hacker News | New Comments Viewer & RSS Feed

http://watrcoolr.us/hn/ http://watrcoolr.us/hn/ If you just want an RSS feed: http://watrcoolr.us/hn/cfeed.pl http://watrcoolr.us/hn/cfeed.pl The Hacker News Comments Viewer will pop-up a window and then display new comments as they come in through overlay pop-ups within that window. You can move the main window to a desired location on your desktop and/or resize it, and the forthcoming interior pop-ups will change size appropriately. To dismiss a comment, just click on it. To dismiss all currently displayed comments, hit the enter key. The main window itself needs to be in focus for the latter to work. (For those of you from MIT, I tried to replicate the basic UI of zwgc. I used to subscribe to the help instance.) This is a 6 hour hack that I made for myself, but I figured some of you might also find it useful. Feedback is of course welcome.
