Hacker News Reader

Seriously, are you going to knock this out in a few weeks? Have you tried integrate someone else's giant codebase and their infrastructure?

Also, integration does not stop other features and bugs from being implemented and fixed.

Also they probably have a path to sunset the service and perhaps that means they need to think about future migrations.

Maybe not a few weeks, but 2.5 years seems pretty intense. Why not six months? I find it hard to believe they couldn't have executed well in six months if it was a priority. Clearly, it wasn't.

Because they want to take that long? Do you have an issue with that?

In that case, there is no way to know if it took them 2.5 years or 6 months.

This isn't an integration of screen hero, this is a noninteractive screencast.

a mean and lean team of hacker news readers could probably knock out the integration in a weekend or two.

Just because something could be built it doesn't mean it should be. I, for one, applaud the fact that they rolled it out when they were good and ready. Shows a steady hand at the steering wheel.
