I was surprised to see that this was built using a web app.

How does Tomodo exist in the same world as IPR lawyers?

In this case I think it's OK because it's a parody. In general, I think it's for the good of the company if their service receives more usage because someone made it better, isn't it?

I'm upvoting this not for the cutesy joke but because of the introduction to tomodo.me. This is a fantastic app, I can already think of a variety of ways this can be used in non-trivial ways to help me, but here's a trivial example of modifying news.yc to include domain favicons: http://newsycombinator.tomodo.me/. The best thing (that I didn't catch at first) is that this isn't a static copy of the site, it's a proxy that serves modifications (in the form of userscripts) against the live website, it supports all interactions with the site. This comment is edited through the tomodo version of news.yc!

I think the icons should go on the left to keep the visual consistent. But nice idea!

You logged into the proxy? But they could steal all your karma!

They better not, I'm saving up for an office hour with PG and a Techcrunch blog post!
