But then I realized, this would break the subtle cohesion of the current model. Everyone has to specifically come back to news.yc to comment. Everyone has to use the HN design. I do wonder if this is intentional, or at least strategic - because the current approach enforces a certain perspective when commenting that *perhaps* might be broken, or at least made much much harder to maintain, by the fragmentation induced from being able to run off and build totally alternative interfaces.

It's just a thought. I'm not sure if this is just hot air.
