Hacker News Reader

A standard server-side, non-JS version of the Hacker News front page? I feel like that's pretty easy to find.

Right, but it should be benchmarked so that all requests originate from the same server so latency and other factors are not a problem.

Yep you're 100% right, that's something we've discussed [1] and definitely something we still need to do [2].

0.2 to 0.7 seconds for me

How fast are the others for you? 0.7 seconds tell me nothing if you have the newest Razer Blade and a gigabit connection.

Good point. Others are indeed faster - 0.7 to 0.1 once cached (not sure why Chrome doesn't brake it).

I do have 802.11ac on 100mb fiber...
