I didn't play with the HN API but I wonder if it's possible to post comments using the API. I haven't seen any program support user comments, it would be neat to be able to post comments using vim :-)
Hi, plugin author here. It's not currently possible to post comments using the official API (or any of the unofficial APIs), but this probably wouldn't be difficult to implement using a standard POST request to the actual Hacker News web server. The harder part would be getting the interface for posting comments inside of Vim user friendly; it would probably be similar to how fugitive.vim lets you enter git commit me…
That'd be awesome. Opening up a scratch buffer and then using that for the contents of the comment in the POST would work pretty well. I dig it.
