Hacker News Reader

This is a neat idea. Do you guys have any numbers that show that your interface is more engaging than say a blog post with quotes from a conversation? (I know it makes it easier for the publisher but do readers enjoy reading this format? I sure as hell do!). Great job!

And readers enjoy reading this format just as you do.

Some of our favorite comments from readers on various sites: "I love this format! Definitely like it over the regular Q and A style and even better than podcasts" "Love the format. Easy to read." "More fun than the usual five questions and way more interesting" "ReplyAll, you're my new favorite platform."

And one of my personal favorites: "This is voyeuristically fun. If that's a word. And I'll creep back where I came from."

Thanks! And we do. The average engagement on any ReplyAll conversation is between ten and eleven minutes. The publishers who use is to publish live conversations will typically see between 2 and 3 page views per unique reader.

Plus, we are currently building better ways to follow the conversations. Right now you can subscribe to the final version of the conversation, but we're adding in subscribe to follow by email, Twitter, Chrome plug-in etc
