We created this utility because many startups ask HN community to review their startups and they get lot of excellent responses. I also did the same but after that managing the replied were little pain as I had to manually create an excel sheet for that. Now this will help people like me to get all the replies properly in an excel file which can be manipulated as and when needed. Let me know what HN thinks of this.
I think you might as well make it a .csv, since Excel can read those but other products can't necessarily read Excel spreadsheets (Google Docs/OpenOffice/Zoho probably all handle .csv well).
Yup true. Will add that option.
I like it. Not sure what I'd use it for, but I'm trying it out to see.
When you want data from threads starting from "Ask HN:" you can use this.
