Am I the only one who thinks this will be taken down super fast?...

Displaying the content of other websites, even when it has a link to the original post is asking for a lawsuit.

Also, now that I checked again the server seems to be down.

I agree with you there. I really enjoy being able to swipe throughthe stories like that(hell give me all the content that way with a swipe right on mobile to access the hn comments).

Note: mobile users swipe left/right for stories.

That is actually very interesting. I was wondering how Pocket (or any readitlater service) could operate if that was the case. I did this mostly for myself so didn't think about it much

Well, in case of Pocket, I am personally hiring an agent to meddle with the frontend for me. It's like hiring a guy to read newspaper articles for me.

This, on the other hand, is a public facing open website. This is like reciting newspaper article over the radio so nobody has to buy the newspaper.

Pocket adds to my readers numbers, and locks them in. This service does the opposite for me. So it would be harder to tolerate the missing ad views.

Doesn't this service do what every HN iOS/Android app does? (All of the HN apps I have used display the text of the article within the app).

Your comment seems unduly negative. This is pretty awesome and useful!

If they give attribution via link then what's the issue?

From the top of my head, my content makes no money when one does that. Also, every website with content has terms that states you cannot alter delivery method or frontend of their service.

It's like pirating TV shows with a link to Amazon DVD page.
