Is this meant to be a joke on Reddit's "new" design? Or just following the same principles?
Full Hacker News: single page with top 30 articles inlined

#42I don't get it. The actual HN page is a single page with top 30 stories on it. And more usefully information dense.
Scroll down. It has the stories inlined on the page.
I agree though that there's no real reason for it to lose the links to the comments or the vote/comment numbers.

#43Title could be:
"single page with [THE FULL ARTICLE TEXT OF] the top 30 stories"
Feature-wise this is great, it's like an auto-inlined Safari reader version of all the articles.
Unfortunately re-publishing other people's work (written article) is generally considered theft or a copyright violation.
HOWEVER, things like safari reader exist, and I believe side-step the copyright issue by not storing or "publishing" the work and just "displaying" it differently to a single viewer. After all the browser is already display its own visual representation of the "text" (html).
So I assume if this was written as a browser plugin, it would be fine, or at least fine-ish? Is that actually true?
What about if it was writen as a Greasemonkey script? Still fine?
What if the "Greasemonkey script" was actually just a regular javascript that was distributed with the "list of links" that then queried the articles from the client and then formatted them "nicely"? I think that might fly but seems grey? Anyone have any (real) experience with this?
What if the client side script also stashed the "formatted" texts in the local storage for offline viewing?

#44I come to HN not just for the links to the articles, but more so for the comments. If you inline the articles, why not snap-shot the comments too?

#45Pretty neat from an archive standpoint. Have something scrape that page every day and you end up with the top 30 daily results in a easy to read format.

#46Earlier quoted context omitted.
What tools are you finding to be best?
Best thing I got is an app/chrome plugin a very very kind amazing developer friend built JUST FOR ME that uses wavenet, and I'm eternally grateful.
Is there any thing developers do for you that you wish they wouldn't? I usually try to use the standards when designing websites but everything seem to come from 1980.

#47Nice! Can you make the back button work, please.
+1, I clicked an article, it loaded (instantly, woo!), then I clicked back which took me all they way back to real HN. I would expect to go back to the top 30 list.

#48This hard-crashed Chrome for me. 64-bit, 69.0.3497.100, Windows 10.

You need an active internet connection to browse HN, so this will be very useful say when commuting in the subway.

#50Nice! Can you make the back button work, please.
That was my first impression, too :) I clicked one headline to see what happens and thought, "cool." Clicked 'back' to return to the title list, and suddenly I'm looking at the HN comments and thinking "what happened?" Took a second for my brain to catch on, like a sort of cognitive shock.
Edit: ya, what hamandcheese said. I guess my tab had been open for a while.
