Seems like nowadays one can submit a 2-hour app to HN and still get to the frontpage. And of course if you dare to post a negative opinion, embrace the downvotes (it’ll also happen with this comment). Man this place is crappy sometimes.
Title could be: "single page with [THE FULL ARTICLE TEXT OF] the top 30 stories" Feature-wise this is great, it's like an auto-inlined Safari reader version of all the articles. Unfortunately re-publishing other people's work (written article) is generally considered theft or a copyright violation. HOWEVER, things like safari reader exist, and I believe side-step the copyright issue by not storing or "publishing" the…
As someone who basically lives by text to speech, this is amazing, thank you so much.
Currently I use an iOS app called "Offline Pages" to download the Hacker News frontpage + linked articles + comments before I board a flight.
Awww man, I expected an Inception now that this hit the front page. At least a hall of mirrors :-(

Search engines do it to some extent too when showing snippets. There must be some special provision saying that isn't copyright violation. Wondering what did the author use here to extract content? edit: its php-redability, project is here https://github.com/mauricesvay/FullHackerNews

I think this every time I see one of these posts. I don’t want to demean their effort and good on them for building. But why am I seeing this on the front page?
Because people that are upvoting it enjoy HN and like to see all the various ways you might formulate its content presentation. Beyond merely altering HN, sites like that become general experiments in content presentation that others can study and learn from. This process of showing HN formulations now spans a decade and tends to change with the times, which again presents value.
I come to HN not just for the links to the articles, but more so for the comments. If you inline the articles, why not snap-shot the comments too?
I use Instapaper + the Send-to-Kindle feature to read things in bed each evening, and being able to read a summary of HN that day would be amazing.
