Hacker News Reader

Nice! I've been wanting something like this in combination with hnrss.org to have my feed/news reader (Emacs?) allow me to revisit a HN thread and show unread comments (since I last looked at the comments). I think there's still some glue to be done too make that all work nicely.

View on HN

Some blogs have a regular feed and a comment feed - I haven't really tried to use the latter, as comments in many places unfortunately is even more spammy than usenet.

It would be fun if you could post comments to the original blogs through Feedbase, alas, that would probably means custom integration for each and every one, and would be prone to abuse. So comments (follow ups) on Feedbase are local to Feedbase (and not used much).

You can also use Elfeed to read hnrss in Emacs. Probably the more popular option.
