Cool project. Some questions:

Do you store a copy of the page (so you can still see it if the original is deleted)?

Do you refresh the index? (to index the new comments in a web page)

Do you get the pages from a simple wget? (google groups don't work this way i think?)

What technologies for the webapp backend and iphone?

Thanks

Am I just looking at this the wrong way or is there no free trial?

There's no free trial from the site but I've just created the voucher code HNTRIAL which should give the first 50 Hacker News readers a two month free trial. Enjoy!

Thank you! Just yesterday I was looking for a good bookmark tool to use on my work and home computers so I'm going to try this out.

Yeah we do store a copy of the site (just HTML not other assets) but we don't really offer archiving of the site at the moment. Currently any page gets re-indexed when someone edits the meta data (title, description etc) that we store with the bookmark. We could easily add a user 'reindex' button.

It's all built with Google App Engine using their Text Search feature.

No problem, just let us know what you think.

Our mobile version is based on cheeaun's http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/landing/ project but we're still working on it. We tried jQuery mobile but found it too slow, that was 6 months ago, maybe its improved.
