Hacker News Reader

From the title, I thought this was going to be about blocking Reddit to improve productivity.

I get a lot of work done when reddit goes down. Happened today with the read-only mode -- who wants to do that?

I simply added

127.0.0.1 reddit.com www.reddit.com

to my /etc/hosts on the machines I use for working.

I'm not sure that spending your time on HN instead is much of an improvement.

At least it's lower volume.

and more worthy of your time due to being higher quality (this post excluded)

Oh, the content here is far more informative and useful! But you're right, I've done the same with this site from time to time...
