Awesome. When you have time, here's my wishlist: 1 Change password functionality 2 Make the "Y" logo at the top go to the hacker news index (I always accidentally click it and go to ycombinator.com) 3 Make the foot that is on the index page with links to Y Combinator, feature requests, etc, be standard on all pages. Thanks!

Also the comment rules somewhere on the Add Comment page. I always forget how to do this.

  A little "help" link showed up next to the text submission box for a while, but it's missing now.

    When you go to edit your "profile" thing, the help link shows up there. Should be standard and next to every text box, though.

      I just noticed, any edit page has it, but the add comment page doesn't. Perhaps this is adequate, you mess it up the first time and go to edit and it is available.

On 2, I prefer it the way it is. If I want to go to the Hacker News index, I can click on "Hacker News", which is, after all, right there beside the YC logo.

  Why would you ever want to go to ycombinator.com from hacker news? Maybe on strange cases you would, but it's poor UI form to have the logo link to a different site.

    A person might go there to find out things about YC. I mean, supporting YC is the ultimate purpose of the Hacker News application, after all. In any case, YC is not a separate site: it's the parent site of this application. The logo is not the Hacker News logo, it's the YC logo, and should link to YC.

      No, I'd argue that they are separate sites, though it is obvious that y combinator is affiliated, and it's linked at the bottom of the index page. Very rarely will users of hacker news want to go to ycombinator.com, so having the link in such a prominent position is a mistake.
