I thought it was going to be more like /. but I'm confused. Can you add some sort of comment link to /, which is something I could have easily navigated, like /. and /. would be great.

Nice, but I wonder why you would want to do the same with comments on the same page. If you're not really getting it, why make a single sentence and the title different?

How about adding a "Downvote" to the title? For example, "Hackernews: The best comment in the world: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=635686
"What I like about the HN thread, which is that I don't have to post links here to get upvotes on comments from hacker-news posts"
I just wanted a way to filter out the "Ask" from your comments so you could add new comments, and then maybe change the URL to "Show HN" to the "About the Hacker News thread" link.

#4I have the same question but without the title. Maybe I can generate the "Ask HN: Hacker News Comments" link from titles by tagging it by topic.

#5How do you get your comment title into the list?
You can just use a few of the existing ones: http://hn.algolia.com/hacker
It's not perfect, but it works fine

#8I've had a lot of fun making a script similar to this that would convert your site to a commenting system. Thoughts?
