This looks good, the animation on hover doesn't add any value though. My favourite HN client on phone is http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/ . It's lean, fast and looks like a native app on the phone. I've added a shortcut to my mobile's home screen, using the 'Add to Home Screen' option in Chrome, which gives me a nice quick launch icon. The downside of both these clients is that you can't login or post using them.

(not affiliated) I always use http://ihackernews.com/ which has "collapse thread" buttons for comments and a "view on HN" for one-extra-click-to-reply. Use it on the desktop as well, actually.

Definitely not as beautiful as the one you linked..

Ditto. I find the animations on this one make it slow on mobile. Haven't tried it on my iPad yet (which is where I use cheeaun's on a daily basis), but I think the visuals might detract from the reading somewhat.

Nice! The live update is sick! What would make me use this instead of news.ycombinator.com every day however would be: - the ability to hide stories you've already read (some box to tick like a todo list) or are not interested in. They take up so much space, so there is a lot of wasted space after 5 mins on the site and reading/seeing I'm not interested in the top stories. I don't want to click 'show more', I want ne…

+ top for a day/3 days/week!

I have been seeing quite often that the webpages makes it to first place on Hacker News are getting unresponsive, slow or even down just like this one.

Is there anybody knows about the load statistics when a story on Hacker News gets on the first place?

What i mean is; how many requests are made to a web page, what is the req/seq and etc?

I guess this would be useful for me and other people to get ready for possible load on our site to be sure if we can handle this load.

I recently tested my web-pages against a 4k display. The impression was horrible. One tiny column and useless word-wraps generated almost unreadable text. I would really like to see themes that can handle horizontal resolutions above 1900 pixels.
