Just sent a pull request - I'd use this if it linked to comments. Otherwise this is exactly what I want!

Yeah! Thank you for the contribution, I'll apply your patch and release another version as soon as I get the chance to open my computer!

If I were to create a mobile app for HackerNews, what would be the best way to go about doing that in terms of API to use?

I made a semi-complete python api for HN: https://github.com/thekarangoel/HackerNewsAPI

Are things like these just proof-of-concepts, or are there many people out there that use these? It's things like this that are just promoting the joke that "Emacs is a great OS, but lacks a good text editor." (Honest question)

In case anyone else is tempted: I tried to add the "new" page, and additional pages of the main results - however the API that drives this ( http://api.ihackernews.com/ ) has been failing to return those pages for several hours now. I'm assuming that the functionality was dropped at some point...

Hmm, bad news. I'll work on polishing the new proxy support that is almost done in another branch, so we'll be able to use more reliable services for now.

And then, when I have some time, I'll write the full thing on lisp! Thanks for the heads up!

I love how the first item in the screenshot is "Does everyone hate MongoDB?". Good old HN.
