If you live on the other side of the world, filtering by date is an issue. If you connect from Asia and with most of the activity on HN coming from the US, there is little to see during our mornings. I expect to see what I have missed on the last 24 hours without have to change the date manually.
Perhaps you can show a the top 10 (or 20, or xx) of the previous day with visual separation so that I know if was submitted earlier.
since the site itself is on the homepage I couldn't not try the recursive call to the site. apparently it doesnt load more than one nested level (ipad safari).
This kind of two-pane layout looks great on large screens but is unusable on mobile (my Nexus 5, at least). Are there any good approaches that don't involve making a separate mobile layout?
Maybe a mobile-only button to expand the sidebar, and then the list of articles takes up the full screen, sliding away after an article is selected?
This actually doesn't much match my reading style - I like to scan the front page for stuff that looks interesting and then read it in a new tab, which works just fine when I right click links.
YES! I love the idea, but like everyone else, I will almost always read the comments first. Actually, that's mostly the reason why I come to HN. Came for the articles, stayed for the comments.
This is basically a test of who's set their x-frame headers or not. So the google link doesn't work, and everything that does is vulnerable to clickjacking.
agree. But I am not going to grep the content into my database to hack the sameorigin policy as it is the rule of internet. But I'm still finding the solution of detection of sameorigin error, so I can notice use to ask them to open it on the new tab.
FWIW I've had a similar side project for a while; I opted for using the main display area to show the headline, full url, and links to comments (and recently, comments from other sites). Up/down arrows navigate and return key opens the article in a new tab.
It's a nice balance between easily navigating articles, and not getting in the way too much. But that might be entirely personal taste.
Keyboard bindings, especially for the left column, are sorely missing. Having to pick up the mouse each time you want to switch the article (or whatever) is a real pain in the abdomen.

Apart from J/K, any other suggestions? up/down, cmd+T, cmd+F, cmd+c ?

use font-awesome?
So I use the iframe to build Coder's Read. But I am still using hn.premii.com when I use mobile.
Looks so much nicer than any of the others IMO and is easy to filter. I wish all news sites were setup like that.
Edit: I love to see all the things people do with HN even if I don't use them. Does anyone have a list of HN augmenting sites?

also, when loading the first article :
1. Make the comments number a link to load the comments page directly.
2. Allow the right pane to split to show comments above/below the actual web page
I really like this tool so adding some good comment features would keep me coming back.
I'm so fascinated by the news here that I haven't yet figured out how the site works so far.

I found a Firefox add-on here that is similar to this site:

This way you can browse every website without ever using your mouse.

I made something similar at hkrnews.com but SameOrigin policy blocks 30% of articles. One way to get around it is whateverorigin.com
