I've been using this for awhile now as my primary HN front-page interface, for several reasons:
- easier to read
- mobile-browser friendly
- auto refreshes
- preserves articles that make it to the front page, and in (reverse) order of the time they made it to the front page, so no need to constantly check the front page and parse all of its contents to see if new articles are posted
that's a feature. with hckrnews you get to see all the articles, even if they were only on the front page for a short time. for me, that's the biggest advantage it has over the main site.
