Show HN: A new way to view IAmA's on Reddit

Very cool. It picks all the important stuff and presents it sans the fluff. Where do I subscribe? Really, where's the rss feed for new AMAs?<p>Also, links to questions in their original context would be nice.

I have emailed Reddit about the legality of this project. (Have not received a response yet) So far it seems likely that I will have to take down the site.<p>So consider this a small preview I suppose. I plan to port this to a Chrome Extension.<p>Do you guys find this format much more readable than the current completed IAmA?

The concept is good and its easier to scan than IAMA but the design/typography just hurts to read. I would probably fix that asap. Make it bigger, easier to read and change the font.<p>In regards to your concerns of legality. Reddit seems to be ok with scrapers, bots and the like as long as you dont make more than 30 requests per minute.

Thank you!! Serious time saver when you cut the ding-dong-ping-pong Reddit karma whoring replies. Just enjoyed this AMA with a former Rosetta Stone employee:<p><a href="http://www.topiama.com/r/21/iama-former-rosetta-stone-employee-who-speaks-8" rel="nofollow">http://www.topiama.com/r/21/iama-former-rosetta-stone-employ...</a>

Surprisingly compelling. The IAmA's are some of Reddit's best content, and this is so much easier to scan than a real IAmA thread. Thanks!

An alternative that we know is legal, you can use <a href="http://reddit.com/r/tabled" rel="nofollow">http://reddit.com/r/tabled</a>.<p>To expand on that, you could create a stylesheet or such that modified the look of it. Something similar to the mobile HN sites where banner ads are preserved could be considered as well.

Minor problem: Zero based indexing, combined with not showing current page in navigation, is confusing. At main page I saw links to page 1, 2. Thought that 1 was current page, 2 was next page.

I like this, although I do think it would be better if each comment had a permalink back to the original so that we could see all the responses, not just the one by the person who created the thread.

Very cool. Reading the Nate Phelps AMA:<p><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/v99eg/iaman_exmember_of_the_westboro_baptist_church/" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/v99eg/iaman_exmember_o...</a><p>Right now the top-rated comment by Nate Phelps is not in direct response to a particular question.<p>This top-rated comment is not on topiama.com:<p><a href="http://www.topiama.com/r/4/iaman-exmember-of-the-westboro-baptist-church" rel="nofollow">http://www.topiama.com/r/4/iaman-exmember-of-the-westboro-ba...</a><p>I don't know if this is a feature or a bug or if hasn't been crawled recently.<p>It would be great to see these top-level comments!<p>------------<p>Linking to an answer's context would be super-useful as well. A great deal of the fun and value reddit supplies is the community commentary and responses to an AMA's answers. This can range from the funny to the insightful to the scary - something topiama.com doesn't capture. Which is great - sometimes you don't want the peanut gallery.

There used to be a comment bot/person who put all the reddit AMA questions into a tabular format - I recently discovered it has a pretty useful subreddit: <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/tabled" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/tabled</a><p>I actually prefer that format over this one.

Super, thanks! Saw a lot of stuff that I missed, e.g. the physicist who can calculate anything:<p>* If I gain a kilo of weight here on earth, how much more will my wife be attracted to me? Ans: 4x10^-9N<p>* How large would the wings of a pegasus have to be to allow a horse to actually fly? Ans: 1000m2

Substantial improvement. Now can you make one that shows r/funny minus all of the cat posts?

Neat. The presentation would be vastly improved without the text-align: justify; though.

This is awesome, so much cleaner and easier to read. I hope it stays online.<p>I'd make questions link to the original comment threads on Reddit, though. Sometimes comments by other users are useful too.

I'm doing something similar with all the funny pictures on reddit. not really successful though, and basically leeching.

Really enjoyed this... so much easier than navigating through hundreds of comments on Reddit's main interface

Does this also support <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/ama" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/ama</a>?

Beat me to it!! I am currently working on the exact same problem. Lets see how my version turns out!

This is much more readable than IAmA's interface though I suggest some work on the font. Great job.

This is great! I second the request for an RSS feed for the new IAMAs. Thanks for the site!

There definitely need to be context links to the original comments.

Once it denotes nested questions it will be perfected. Nice work.

This is great, would love to see it as a chrome extension!

Paging is buggy.

This is great! Thanks for making it :)

Fantastic job.

RSS Please!

How about one for HN?

I guess we should be glad Craig Newmark does not own Reddit.
