I find that one of the signifiers I use to decide which front-page stories to read is "how many comments are there"; sadly this view doesn't include that information.
Also, when opening a link from the sidebar, sometimes it takes a while for the page to load, during which time the previous page is still displayed. It'd be less confusing if the old page were replaced with a "loading..." message of some kind.
A new version -- hot off the servers -- now shows all of the classic HN info: points, poster, time, and comments. And there's also a "Loading..." message.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! It's fun to do same-day development.
