alt Hacker NewsThat's cool, I really like it. One piece of feedback: I am usually more interested in the HN comments than in the original article. If you'd include a link to the comments then I might switch to GopherSignal as a replacement for the HN frontpage.
My flow is generally: Look at the title and the amount of upvotes to decide if I'm interested in the article. Then view the comments to see if there's interesting discussion going on or if there's already someone adding essential context. Only then I'll decide if I want to read the article or not.
Of course no big deal if you're not interested in my patronage, just wanted to let you know your page already looks good enough for me to consider switching my most visited page to it if it weren't for this small detail. And maybe the upvote count.

EDIT: Apologies for breaking things earlier while trying to fix it! I’ve been working on updating it and got the upvote count and comment link in there. Wondering what you think about these updates—appreciate any feedback! Thanks again for helping me improve it!
I would love this feature. Regardless, what you have built is really cool
Agreed..great suggestions. Id consider switching as well.
Hey, thanks a ton for the feedback! That was super helpful to hear about your flow—makes a lot of sense and it's pretty similar to how I browse HN too. I usually only dive into the article after checking out the upvotes and seeing what context the comments add.
I'll definitely add a link to the comments and the upvote count—gotta keep my tiny but mighty userbase (my mom, me, and hopefully you soon) happy, right? lol
And if there's even a chance you'd use GopherSignal as your daily driver, that's a no-brainer for me. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your ideas and help me improve.
