I'm curious since I for myself have not yet found the ideal set up and I'd like to learn more about how other USE HN.<p>- I bought an iPad app that crashes upon opening (no answer from the developer, can one get money back from Apple?), what apps are you recommending?<p>- I'm following ycombinator and newsycombinator as well as newsyc20/newsyc50/newsyc100/newsyc150 on twitter<p>- I have hacker news daily in my google reader, which lists the 10 most voted stories of the day before<p>- I periodically check the homepage and try to comment where I feel like I can contribute<p>That's it, so what's your "set up"?
I use a Greasemonkey script called Hacker News OnePage [1] that I customized to fit my needs. It puts HN in a sidebar and opens links in a frame to the right of it. Comments are also shown underneath that frame. It's very similar to HN Vue [2], but I have more control over the layout and can customize exactly how I want to consume HN.<p>[1] <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30512" rel="nofollow">http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30512</a>

Has the news.ycombinator.com open on a tab in my chrome and check out the news about every ten minutes when I am on the pc to see if anything interesting has popped up.
