Second: IMHO, I really do think this suffers from being a single page app. It's essentially an HN clone. Would HN be better if it was a single page app? No, it would probably be worse.

You're not wrong, there's definitely some downsides to Telescope being a single-page app. The two big ones are a longer initial loading time, and making it harder to cache the app. That being said, there are also advantages: for example, once the initial load is done, the next page loads are pretty much instant. In any case, I'm hoping that Meteor eventually implements server-side template rendering. When that happens, Meteor apps like Telescope will in theory benefit from the advantages of both static and single-page apps.
