Why does a 0-points, downvoted Reddit thread with an (((echo))) have 640 points on this scraper?

Any plans to add a comment system? Edit: I'm excited by the idea of a crypto focused HN-ish site, I'd love if there was a comment system :)

I thought that was Reddit is for. The /r/Cryptocurrency subreddit exactly serves this purpose.

Not everybody can post in this subreddit though. And it's always good to have different places to share about crypto :)

I can't middleclick links. Unusable for me. Also, please don't attach /?sort=new (or remove it) to reddit threads. It overrides the user's sorting.

HN works great without js. This site I can't even click the links?

I can't open the links for the original posts, is this happening with you all as well?

You have to click the domain (reddit.com for example) for it to open, which is of course unintuitive

I would visit this daily if the content quality were better. Maybe start with scraping, then let people post themselves, and gradually move towards no scraping.

I like the ticker. Saves me from needing to check elsewhere.

I'd like to see a sentiment for each article as well. If you add that, then add a green/red indicator on the price chart as well for when the news came out.

Side note, I find the font very hard to read. The letters are too thin and grey. Removing the "font-weight: 300;" style from the body makes it infinitely more readable.

This is A cryptocurrency news scraper inspired by Hacker News.

Reading the HN title, and looking at the site name listed on HN, I had expected there to be information relating to cryptography, which there is not.

This is not crypto news, but cryptocurrency news.

Thanks. It is indeed not very intuitive.
