FYI, this uses the Hacker News API which I didn't know existed until researching this: https://github.com/HackerNews/API

I also wish it provided upvote and downvote totals, and not solely the final score - it'd allow more a lot more experiments of differing ways to display threads and comments.

AFAIK none of the APIs provide comment votes; you can only get the votes on your own comments, and only by scraping the web page :(

I disagree, there's good reason for hiding those totals from users, in any way.

What are the reasons, and are they all trying to prevent gamification or?
