I'm not sure who posted this this time, but when I first posted it, it never found much traction. One of (IMHO) the problems with Hacker News is that there is no good way to store and locate meta information. So all the mashups, meetups, re

I can understand why you thought they would be sortable. However, it's designed around being a chronological list. When I want to scan the higher rated stories, I use the filter links -- top 10, top 20, top 50%. Sorting by points or comment

Thanks for the input. I'm working on my startup as well, so don't be too worried about how I'm spending my spare time. In fact, in one way, I made this so I could spend more time on my startup. I found myself wasting too much time reading H

Thanks! I'm glad someone appreciates it. Seems everyone else is very worried about my spare time and how I wasted it... :)

Hmmm, that is strange. I did test it in Firefox a while back, but I must have changed something in the meantime. I run Safari and Chrome personally, so I never noticed that. I'll see if I can fix that. edit: It should be fixed now. Thanks f

What OS/browser are you using? What is your issue with the font? edit : Others seemed to be saying the same thing. I switched to a sans family stack. Let me know if that is better. As for the column thing -- this is something I use every

If you go to the about page[1], you'll find extensions for both chrome and safari. These extensions will highlight new comments, as well as make comment threads collapsible (a la reddit). http://hckrnews.com/about.html

Sure, I could. Which is why I didn't.

Author here. Part of the reason I built this is so that I could skip a day or two, and still come back and see what was posted. Unfortunately, that means finding this thread 11 hours after it was posted. I'll respond to the comments.

From the article: Now there is a caveat to this. You only need to be exposed to things like gluten once every ten to fifteen days to keep the gut damaged. This can bedevil people as they “cut back on gluten” but do not notice an improvemen

Sigh. This is the opposite of "faddish bullshit". Because it is packaged as a book, with the word "diet" in the title, people assume that it must be some fad. People with Coeliac disease react to, and have trouble digesting gluten. However,

Which is why the message in The Paleo Soltuion makes sense: "Eat real food". Any food that has an ingredients list likely also contains sugar, salt, and/or ingredients with names that you cannot pronounce. I think you also have to take a

Yes, hckrnews.com is me (email in my profile). I use it to read Hacker News -- I leave it on the 'all' filter and scan the new items a couple times a day. The browser extension lets me see which comment threads I've read that have new comme

This is a start, but it suffers from the same problem that all of the wikis, spreadsheets, archives, and alternative interfaces do -- how do people find it in the first place? But _this_ is the problem I see the Hacker News wiki should solv

I realize there's been a few alternative ways to read Hacker News that have been posted in the last few weeks, and this is yet another. I started building this a couple months ago, because I wanted it, and finished it because I found it qui
