Lovely to access.

Comment icon feels a little minimized, is it better for power users?

Importantly, unlike official 'comments' links, it is always clickable in same place.

Looks nice. I'd like to see the vote count for posts if possible (mostly because I like to see how old/popular a post is)

Very nice! Would love j and k keyboard movement and loading of more stories when you scroll near the end.

Very cool. Some sites, like the Google 10,000 house article are blocking pages rendered in frames. Perhaps there is a way to do DIVs?

It should be kind of fun selecting this very link there.

Wow, it looks like a surprisingly large number of sites refuse to be framed. Shouldn't be too much of a surprise when you consider the threat of click-jacking, but interesting to see none-the-less.

Nice and simple layout. Got a similar site too. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2529573 It's here - http://ireadhn.g-webtech.com/

Did you use the same API? I have never had a chance to work on the comments but got inspired to work on it again.

Good work!
