I tried with w3m and posting is no problem. The site seems completely usable. But of course using w3m or eww doesn't begin to address the question of a unified interface through, say, gnus. Now, it would be possible to write site-specific code to scrape HN, interface to gnus, and later write back any comments to HN. I'm just stating the obvious here. But that would be fragile to say the least, and it would be different for each and every forum. Not a solution, either. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i Sent via Linux Mint 17.
