Hacker News Reader

Good work. I made something very similar a while back (with a slightly different UI):

http://chetan51.github.com/panels/hacker/

Now, users have some choice :)

Hacker Panel doesn't work very well for me. It nearly always just brings up the submit page, even if the link has already been posted to HN.

Same experience for me with HN Thread http://kaspa.rs/hn-bookmarklet/. This seems to work much better.

Let's take this url as an example http://daneden.me/animate/.

With HN Thread I get one page.

With Hacker Panel I just get the submission screen.

With this bookmarklet I get all three times the page was submitted to Hacker News.

Thanks OP.

Sorry, it was using the old API which is now taken down. I've updated it to use the new HNSearch API, so it should work well now. You can get the updated version at http://chetan51.github.com/panels/hacker/.
