FAQ

(Well these aren't really "frequently asked" more pre-emptive questions I suppose...)

What is this?

It's just a little webapp to browse Hacker News and order/filter comments. More of a meme than a project really...

How do I use this?

Simply go to a Hacker News discussion, and delete the "r" in the URL then press "enter"

Why build it?

Short Answer: Because building things is fun! :)

Long Answer: I found myself wanting to sort/find comments in discussions on my phone, this will just make it a bit easier

What's this phishing warning I see?

Well Chrome is a bit smarter now, this little domain name hack will probably flag a lot of things... but dont worry about it, you can view the source code if you want.

No, only in: name, content, style & UX. They are unaffiliated with this site
