You should be able to get to the URL to the article's comment thread on HN.
It would also be nice to have filters. I particularly want to be able to get a list of only Show HN posts, only Ask HN posts, or only posts that got at least N upvotes.
Also, it would be nice to have an option to see more results per page. I like to set the number to 100-500 so I don't have to open a giant mass of tabs.
Why? Because I put update only for every one hour (respect HN rule)
Nothing much fancy stuff there yet, since I only want to archives. Soon, I will make "save" button works to collect which posts that may related with my works and interest.
Nice! I was thinking about doing something similar to show all the 'Show HN....' that never make the front page. There's a lot of good stuff that barely gets any views for better or worse.
Nice idea, I also find that it would be quite useful to be able to follow accounts, I mean when you see a comment about something interesting be able to follow that person posts and comments.
Also, being able to combine rss with custom filters mentionned in other comments would be a killer feature - in order to be able to get all of one interest from the world most active tech feed.
Yes, it begins to be difficult feature requests, sorry about that :)
If I remember correctly, an article needs to get some number of upvotes to make it to the RSS feed. For those who don't have the time to read every single article on HN, this is a useful filter.
I agree with csense points, also, it would be nice to specify how long links will be kept in your site: since you planned this as archive it would make sense to put a limit (let's say, one month) and then give access to links posted "one day ago", "n days ago", "n weeks ago" etc.
It seems to me that sometimes HN freezes in some posts for days, and they are not specially upvoted compared with other posts that go down, It seems to happen more on weekends.
Has anybody noticed this?
