Ask HN: RSS Feed for Comments?
12 points by heavymark 1 hour ago | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
In my RSS apps, the top HN feed has always shown a page with a link to view comments. Alas trying out Readwise Reader which is amazing but a bug where feeds like HN, DF etc go straight to the external url bypassing the commentary content which is why most of us subscribe to these wildly popular feeds. In meantime, is there a top HN rss feed that just includes the HN links and not the external links so will work in rss reader that can’t handle it normally yet?

Thank you. At quick glance, in that list I don't see any feed there that is of the standard top HN but have "Comments URL" labeled as just "URL" so will pull into RSS feeds normally? Unless maybe I'm missing something? Eitherway, glad to discover that link as could be helpful for other things in the future.
I don't know if you will agree, but even as a strong RSS user, I don't find RSS to be useful for HN. I tend to prefer the hckrnews.com interface - like a traditional RSS feed display, it is one-line per title, reverse chronological, but has some additional notations and sorts that are useful to me.

In contrast, I only visit any of the home, latest, top or whatever pages like once a year, I only read HN via RSS - but like the OP stated, I need both links, one to the original article and one to the comments (or the proposed only comments-link)
