I like it, but it's not reliable, as I've been going through "The Hacker Classics" and the comments section is not coming up.

Should show this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16442888 right?

Yeah it should. There is a slight url mismatch in this particular case. The HN Api response is returning the url without a trailing slash and hence my code is rejecting that result. I will try and fix it. This was just a basic version coded up in a few hours to see if people find this useful at all.

Woah a couple of hours? cool! It's great to find the hacker news discussion if I'm on a random webpage, I find it very useful :)
