I've gone a different Route, converting the story to a readable format first: http://thequeue.org/hn

Combination of your `queue' and `hn reader' would be the best news site ever.

I'm interested in a collaboration

I found a bug! I can't click on the HN Reader story more than once and go in total recursion! :-D

This is great. Personally I would love the rendering of the web-page to be in the Readability format. This is a critical feature!!! ;P

I second this! Readability ftw

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.

Yes, I've written my own HN reader as well as other apps using iframes...and basically the situation sucks. With a reader like this, you have two real options: * Include regular iframes and risk an increasing number of sites opting out with JavaScript or (more politely) an X-Frame-Options header. * Use to prevent people busting out of it with JavaScript. But that stops all JavaScript, so apps and videos won't show up…

Why not use separate windows?

Reading HN is so fast with this.

This totally fails on iOS (iPhone). The screen is not resizeable. The left column is fixed, and the right column is cut off.

I'm not sure if that's really a bug, but I'm glad I'm not the first person to do that as soon as I saw it!

Nice. I was working on one for a while too. The iFrame problem is definitely the biggest hinderance. Comments also need styling: http://hn.thanithani.com/
