And it works with url instead of story id by searching on HN or Reddit. Does it overwhelm browser by searching url like that?
- comments.network seems to use internal api[1]
- embedd.io directly request HN and Reddit

For the sake of it I will point out that the alternative, is actually two different third-parties dependencies, http://embedd.io/ snippet and https://hn.algolia.com/ service (;
I just saw that network.comments use internal api too for Reddit while it have a clean json API. I think it could be nicer for network.comments to be more transparent and to not depend on third party like network.comments internal api. In order to prevent servers maintenance and to give more privacy.
Imagine tomorrow, network.comments seduce every hackers on the world and have more than 100k blog are requesting network.comments/api server. You'll ask guys to install their own instance which is not your first goal to avoid installing stuff.
