Hacker News Reader

I am just coding the same thing right now (began a week ago). Also had the idea to use bit.ly as shortener (because of its api) and make use of multiple shortened links to store the data. Right before looking at HN I was doing some research for a good js compressing algo.

On the one hand i am a bit disappointed (that i am too late), but on the other hand hashify.me is made far better I could make it. Great realisation.

It's interesting that you say that. For some reason I felt under immense pressure to get this out quickly, but I wrote that off as paranoia (should've heeded Kurt's warning).

Now that it _is_ out in the wild, I can't wait to see what people do with it slash build upon it.

Well, it really _was_ out before in many ways, but not in such a nice one (formated html etc.). Btw, do you have a base64 online converter and read my code six days ago? Just "kidding".
