The "favorites" feature is amazing and just rightly inconspicuous. On my website, https://mihir.ch/#hn, I've been collecting and displaying my favorited posts and comments from an API I created for this purpose only.

The API: https://hn-faves.now.sh

Thanks for sharing your source too! I was curious how you got a web scraper on a small now.sh server (45mb)

Usually I'd use puppeteer, but that would make it like 400mb. I've never heard of [1] x-ray, it looks a great package for lightweight containers!
