- tlarkworthy 12y agothat is really cool seeing the numbers change (occasionally)
- rkrzr 12y agoVery cool, but why not update the design a bit, while you're at it?
- SiVal 12y agoThe API was just announced today. Maybe give him until tomorrow to reinvent Hacker News. ;-)
- ryanseys 12y agoVery cool. Would be neat if changes were more pronounced when they happen. Will the posts change order in this demo if they change on the homepage?
- dstaley 12y agoSadly no, but I'm looking into how to make that happen! It's a result of my particular implementation, not a fault of the API.

- dang 12y agoHoly crap, that was fast. Impressive!
- d0ugie 12y agodstaley nice work. Would be nicer still if firebase had SPDY and QUIC lit up. I don't think it would be a problem with Apache already in front of Varnish. But more importantly, why no favicon? ;)
- andrewstuart2 12y agoDefinitely digging the live-update on the scores. Haven't seen top stories switch places yet, but I'm guessing that happens also. Good work.
- danyork 12y agoVery cool! Congrats on the quick work! (As I find myself pondering the idea of standing something up like this on an dual-stacked server purely so that I could access HN from my IPv6-only test network... hmmm...)
