I've been using this for months now, and I was wondering how many of you know about it. It's the only way to read HN through your RSS reader. Many thanks to Nirmal Patel.

It would be nice if this showed only the first paragraph + a link for more.

I wished more RSS feeds did this by default, thank you.

Great work, thanks! I updated my mobile-friendly (optimized for thumb navigation) HN app:

"Summary" feed: http://mhm.gd/hn/ , the official HN RSS feed.

"Full" feed: http://mhm.gd/hn/f , this new feed with the full contents.

We're calling these feeds, but are they really just compiled summary pages?

I'm viewing from my mobile, and had trouble loading the link in the article, and the above comments' links appear to be pages, not feeds.

Would streams be more accurate? It doesn't seem to imply RSS as much [to me at least].

[also, do any of the mentioned RSS aggregates include comments?]

What? Scrape the websites they are linking to and putting their content in the feed? Sounds quite dangerous to me, maybe that’s the reason :)

Maybe as a separate feed... In my opinion, having this as the only option defeats the purpose of RSS.

+1 for copyright violation. I'm no giant fan of copyrights, but reading content in a format actually produced by the author is the least you can do instead of mangling it up.
