It looks like dang has a page despite having no slug on his profile page: https://dang.at.hn/ https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dang Unless of course he added it, and later removed it?
The wording of: > To opt-in, paste "{your username}.at.hn" anywhere in your profile's 'about' section. Is slightly incorrect, I think. Everyone seems to visible by default, opted-in or not. However, the ?refresh thing is locked down so you need to opt-in before. But by default, every user page is accessible on at.hn, even if you don't have the link in your profile.

#82Man, that is a costly domain TLD to be playing around with. Nice 2-character domain you got. Best of luck and have fun.
Renewal and registration fees seems to be the same, so it's not bad.

#86How hard is it to export all of the comments someone has written on HN? I have been thinking about converting my HN comment history into something like a blog. Each entry would show the title of the submission, link if applicable, and the comment and link to comment thread. Maybe you could provide that service for a small fee. https://github.com/runvnc/hncomments

#88And are you prepared to respond to GDPR and other jurisdiction requirements of data collection and management?
My hope is that, since it's opt-in, and people are publicly publishing this stuff, It'd be alright. Dunno.
