Hacker News Reader

I'd drop any references to reddit - they are far from the only site with upvotes and downvotes, and while they have a rabid fan base, they also have a rabid detractor base. Better to just state your value props than to deliberately inherit the baggage from a contentious site.

Seconded, my initial impression was 'bad idea' until I read a bit more about how it worked.

Seems like an interesting idea - could be quite useful if you can get a critical mass of user data.

Call it hacker news style instead.

Call it stack overflow style instead.

Sorry, another bad idea - SO's search engine is notoriously bad.

Google is SO’s search engine. He’s making google with SO voting.

That makes a lot more sense. My initial reaction was the same as the grandparent comment.

I would suggest rewording the tagline to "Privacy respecting search engine with reddit style voting".

Dude. Not a good response. Better to say "good point, thanks for the tip" since you're the one who suffers the bottom line - either you're understood or you aren't.
