I love that your front page made your front page.
Makes sense if it's constructed on demand or even periodically fast enough to catch that.

#12Really cool. No HTTPS, though? :)
Is there a reason that site needs to be HTTPS? It doesn't have any user login feature, and it's read-only. So what are the arguments for making it HTTPS?

#13I like the idea of changing the order of newspaper headlines and how this link could be #1 recursively.

If I make it to #1 I’m definitely updating the screenshot :)
Edit: as I made it above the fold I updated the screenshot to show the site at #4. The Droste effect is quite pleasing, I think.

#16Ok, now something that turns a newspaper into HN format? Or has that already been done?

To prevent a man in the middle attack. There's a possibility that a hacker could inject malicious scripts into the payload, or even completely change the content of the website that you think you are viewing.

Someone sitting between you and the site (Wifi router? ISP?) could potentially inject their own scripts.

HTTPS stops the content being modified on its way to you. Some less than scrupulous ISPs have injected their own ads into pages, which would be prevented with SSL.

The site is HTTPS—if you’re talking about the mixed content warning, I’m hotlinking all the images so it’s unfortunately unavoidable.
Ah, you're right. I just looked at Chrome's URL bar, and saw "not secure". Should've looked more closely.
You're right about the mixed content warning being unavoidable.
