All of that work and my back button is still broken. It also looks like I can slide a script tag into my comment and have it run.

Your back button is broken? The only behavior I see is that a different page creates a new history entry. Is that not expected behavior?

You can't use back to exit the app, at least on Firefox for Android. Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to https://github.com/k2052/vanilla-hn

2. Click link to live demo at the top

3. Click comments

4. Press back, you'll be back at the main view

5. Press back, you'll still be in the main view, expected: go back to github

Ah, I didn't notice that. Good catch.

Super fast – that's really impressive! There may be an off-by-one bug. The next page of results seems to be missing the first element (e.g. 30, 60, etc). The results go from 29 to 31, 59 to 61.

Looks like a lot of hard work went into this, nice job. However, the app simply doesn't work. Clicking login did nothing, then a minute later the screen said I need to be "logged in to post", routing not working as expected and many links to the external original story are your github.io site with undefined as part of the path.

On Mac/Chrome the back button does not work, plus when clicking through to comments, I see comments for a different thread.

Dude, that's super fast! Blazing speed and rendering, even on my old iPhone 4s! Great work!
