It would probably be a good idea for the main page to allow for auto detecting the feed so it shows the little RSS icon in the location bar.

I think something like this is all you need in <head>

Is 25 enough? http://news.ycombinator.com/rss

You're awesome. I indeed missed it at the top bar or as autodetectable.

What I really want is a link in the feed to the item on news.yc itself -- not just the source link. Part of the value is the discussion and having to find it again on news.yc is a pain.

beautiful ! now ... can you put a link up there on the ... erm ... menu bar ?

yes, it already existed, but most people won't know that unless they see the orange button in their browser's toolbar indicating that the feed was autodetected.

It's at the bottom....

news.yc suggestion: RSS Feed
