I presume the commenter was asking the author of the project to fix a bug. While the submitter may not have actually been said author, it sure seems like a reasonable request.
And yes, perhaps asking the commenter to contribute is also reasonable, but the tone seems unnecessarily adversarial to me.
+1, I clicked an article, it loaded (instantly, woo!), then I clicked back which took me all they way back to real HN. I would expect to go back to the top 30 list.
That was my first impression, too :) I clicked one headline to see what happens and thought, "cool." Clicked 'back' to return to the title list, and suddenly I'm looking at the HN comments and thinking "what happened?" Took a second for my brain to catch on, like a sort of cognitive shock.
Edit: ya, what hamandcheese said. I guess my tab had been open for a while.
Gross. Now I can't avoid the clickbait titles that find their way into the top thirty.
Emojis, meme images, political garbage, flat design icons, code fragments from frameworks and languages I don't care about. I'm not reading that Johnny Depp post, and you can't make me.
All of the horrible cruft that I constantly skip and wait out, until they finally die.
You don't get lawyers knocking on your door some preset time after you get started. You get them knocking on your door when you become big enough to be worth their hourly rate.
Is there any thing developers do for you that you wish they wouldn't? I usually try to use the standards when designing websites but everything seem to come from 1980.
I suggest reading either of those three feeds on https://inoreader.com/ . If you add the feed there, you will have access to past aggregations since the feed had been submitted.
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.
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.
There is a difference between being negative and being constructive. You might find the down votes are the subtitles between them, this has traditionally been a community of not-trolly, happy go lucky, mostly kind people who are working to build things, not pull them down.
This is absolutely an incredible piece of Internet History. Thank you for sharing
Does anyone know if 'Virtual' Museums exist that collect pieces of internet art? I feel like this belongs somewhere. I do not mean like Archive.org I mean a curated collection
Cool! I particularly find the domain blacklist interesting. What prompted you to add the blacklist feature, and what sin did dolphin-emu.org commit to get themselves on it? Unfriendly to scraping, maybe?
What can sites do to avoid getting on the blacklist in the future? Were they non-compliant with some standard, or just too complicated to handle today (but you'll fix it later)?
Also, whoa, this is 5 years old, why is it being submitted now? Might be worth throwing a (2013) on this.
Maintainer here: the folks at dolphin-emu.org politely asked to be removed from the app because content monetization is how they keep their project alive.
> what sin did dolphin-emu.org commit to get themselves on it?
I second this question. The Dolphin team's writeups have gotten a pretty good reception here, from what I've seen, so it seems like a shame for those to get automatically blocked.
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 work and just "displaying" it differently to a single viewer. After all the browser is already display its own visual representation of the "text" (html).
So I assume if this was written as a browser plugin, it would be fine, or at least fine-ish? Is that actually true?
What about if it was writen as a Greasemonkey script? Still fine?
What if the "Greasemonkey script" was actually just a regular javascript that was distributed with the "list of links" that then queried the articles from the client and then formatted them "nicely"? I think that might fly but seems grey? Anyone have any (real) experience with this?
What if the client side script also stashed the "formatted" texts in the local storage for offline viewing?
I've had to deal with a copyright issue recently and the answer to questions like this is usually a solid "maybe." E.g. the New York district court recently disagreed with the Ninth Circuit about the "server test" (https://newmedialaw.proskauer.com/2018/03/02/new-york-court-...)
Pretty neat from an archive standpoint. Have something scrape that page every day and you end up with the top 30 daily results in a easy to read format.

wow that would be super cool.

I don’t want to demean their effort and good on them for building. But why am I seeing this on the front page?
"Oh can we... can we watch ourselves?"
You can even hear the resonant frequencies starting à la Alvin Lucier's "I Am Sitting in a Room".

Edit: Ninja'd by the maintainer.
I agree with the sentiment though.
I agree though that there's no real reason for it to lose the links to the comments or the vote/comment numbers.

Wondering what did the author use here to extract content? edit: its php-redability, project is here https://github.com/mauricesvay/FullHackerNews
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.
