"according to the browser, which means there will probably be a warning message on most browsers" if my browser automatically assumes missing an r in a domain name is phishing (without the domain being blacklisted somewhere) I am moving browsers.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
But ycombinator don't "sell" HN do they? So no infringement...no customers...
Selling isn't required to make infringement.

#14I think having a fixed width is problematic though. For example, because of that you probably do not have enough indentation for subcomments relative to their parents.

#16Could be pitched as a feature beta test site.

#17It would be great if you could build on this, make it more accessible and get it to work for replying, voting, flagging, etc. I like how the main comments are separated as cards.
With more third party efforts like this, maybe one day YC can be shamed into making HN look better and more accessible.

#18> Unfortunately I realized it's essentially a phishing attack :( according to the browser, which means there will probably be a warning message on most browsers... but it's still usable and hopefully people find it enjoyable. No phishing warnings for me. Not sure if YC would be happy with it though :^)

#19I use hckrnews.com as an alternative reader, I guess no shame in having a different domain. Especially since, fundamentally, YCombinator is presumably a regulated company, who must by law care about things like confusing names (what if you get hacked and someone uses the hacked domain to spoof YCombinator the business?). Hacker News is just an appendix.

#20Ycombin.at
The .at TLD isn't the cheapest but it allowed me to get basqui.at.
