Hacker News Reader

I tend the read the comments much more frequently than the actual page. I would suggest:

1. Make the comments number a link to load the comments page directly.

2. Allow the right pane to split to show comments above/below the actual web page

I agree with this. I come to hacker news not for the crappy blogspam but for the comments created by the crappy blogspam.

I really like this tool so adding some good comment features would keep me coming back.

thanks both! I will think about it and add this to my todo list.

YES! I love the idea, but like everyone else, I will almost always read the comments first. Actually, that's mostly the reason why I come to HN. Came for the articles, stayed for the comments.

I'm using an experimental Firefox add-on that shows the comments in the right pane - they can expand / collapse. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hacker-news-r...
