Well I'm not when I'm leaving this comment!
Re: An unofficial alternative to the HN interface
#4I've been using this for awhile now as my primary HN front-page interface, for several reasons:
- easier to read
- mobile-browser friendly
- auto refreshes
- preserves articles that make it to the front page, and in (reverse) order of the time they made it to the front page, so no need to constantly check the front page and parse all of its contents to see if new articles are posted
cf. http://www.hckrnews.com/about.html
a big Thank You and kudos to its author(s) and maintainer(s)-- it works well and consistently!

Ah. That's why I was so confused when the page just.... refreshed.

#9I was using it and it's great but the biggest annoyance is the fact that if I wanted to comment, I still had to go to the original HN... So I started using this extension:

Now I just use regular HN with it.

#10There have been many alt HN interfaces. I try them all, yet I never end up sticking with any of them. I feel like HN meets its needs pretty well and I like that they have resisted change (whether consciously or not)
