That's cool, I really like it. One piece of feedback: I am usually more interested in the HN comments than in the original article. If you'd include a link to the comments then I might switch to GopherSignal as a replacement for the HN frontpage.

My flow is generally: Look at the title and the amount of upvotes to decide if I'm interested in the article. Then view the comments to see if there's interesting discussion going on or if there's already someone adding essential context. Only then I'll decide if I want to read the article or not.

Of course no big deal if you're not interested in my patronage, just wanted to let you know your page already looks good enough for me to consider switching my most visited page to it if it weren't for this small detail. And maybe the upvote count.
