- For
- Hacker News readers who prefer good-faith comment threads
- Worth noticing
- Story rows link to a “side by side” view, while many show a count of comments awaiting review.
Field notes
The front page displays ranked story entries with source domains, submitter handles, points, age, and comment totals; several rows also show an “awaiting review” count. Links include “about,” “examples,” “prompts,” and a “side by side” view, while listings link out to Hacker News. The homepage says rewritten comments use pseudonyms, but the extracted page does not expose a sample rewrite.
