Interesting idea, but I think the comments count; "x comments" should probably be clickable as anyone from HN will instinctively click that, not the "discuss" text.

Got your point, fixed it. Let me know if it seems correct now.

In fact, to perfectly mimic the HN experience, it should be

  plural = "s" if comments > 1 else ""
  "%d comment%s" % (comments, plural) if comments > 0 else "Discuss"
It feels really ugly doing this in Python, but oh well

I also miss seeing the clickable domain next to the submission's title rather than all the way down at the bottom

"Discuss" if comments == 0 else (f"{comments} comment" + "s"*(comments > 1))

Sure, I can put it all in one line too:

  "%d comment%s" % (comments, "s" if comments > 1 else "") if comments > 0 else "Discuss"
