Most SSGs have some kind of plugin system (both Pelican and Lektor certainly do) that would allow you do something like what you want with the HN integration you're considering.

Alternatively, you could use something like Isso (https://github.com/posativ/isso), Kaiju (https://github.com/spf13/kaiju), or Hashover (https://github.com/jacobwb/hashover). I don't use any of these, so I can't really tell you how good they are, but they're options, and far from the only options.

Maybe what you want to do is have a link that sends you to the HN submission page with the fields pre-populated. That wouldn't be so bad.

Redirecting them to the HN pit of cynicism and leave-no-stone-left-unturnedism sounds awful. :)

One of the design goals is to _not_ be disqus.

Hard to put into words the things I don't want Remarkbox to be.

Only add useful features to keep user experience decent.

I would say it wouldn't be allowed as you would end up submitting to HN just 'because' and without direct regard as to whether that post contributes the community. Not all posts are HN related.

Yes, "Not all posts are HN related", but some of my websites always are HN related.

I don't have one general website for all purposes, I have almost "one website per purpose". One for cloud/infrastructure/k8s&docker/... posts, one for programming posts, one for business posts, ... All of those are quite likely to be "interesting enough" for the HN community.

Of course, for my personnal stuff, for my french stuff, for my music & video & photo stuff, and all the other stuff, I wouldn't even think one second of using HN as comment system.
