I use plenty of services which don't charge me......

#8What are you using as the backend/API?
It is partially based on HN Search API [1] and partially based on homemade Ruby scripts.

#9Feedback:
- Autofocus on input field in modal windows after clicking "Follow a new HackerNews user".
- Remember my checkbox selection in the same modal window
- Favicon!
- Autofollowing e.g. "pg" could improve onboarding
- Design is not very content focused right now, I would probably switch the middle and right column
- Highlight found keywords in comment text
- Notify/show me if someone replied to one of my comments
- Modify title depending on what is shown (Right now following.php always shows "HackerNews users I follow" even when I have selected a specific one)

Nice, I'm asking because there was a similar service [1] that stopped working without explanation before and that kinda sucked after getting used to it.
