Thought I'd share this as it's really neat

The text you posted doesn't make it in with the submission when there's a url. (It's on our list to modify the software to make that clear.) The way to do it is to submit the link and then post the text as a comment to the thread—which you'd be welcome to do here. The project looks cool!

Oh, I didn't realise that. Thanks. What I posted:

KnightOS is a third-party Operating System for Texas Instruments z80 calculators. It offers many features over the stock OS, including multitasking and a tree-based filesystem, delivered in a Unix-like environment. KnightOS is written entirely in z80 assembly, with a purpose-built toolchain. Additionally, the KnightOS kernel is standalone, and you can use it as the basis for your own powerful operating systems.

You can download the latest (experimental) version here: http://www.knightos.org/download/

@dang As far as I can tell, the text _does_ make it in with the submission (i.e. it is stored) but it is not _displayed_.

I'm reading HN on hn.premii.com (which uses the Algolia API) and I see both the submission URL and the submission text.

BTW thanks for the awesome work you're doing on HN!

Thanks! You're right: the text is stored (that's how I knew it existed) but doesn't show up when there's a URL. Unless, it seems, you're using a clever client.
