yes i would. to implement the whole thing, instead of only this little jquery snippet shouldn't take much longer. but then i'm not dependent on someone elses server being up/fast.

If everyone could implement their own scrapper they would be able to follow robots.txt guidelines/limits, but HN servers might take a big blow it it gets popular.

That makes sense. Maybe it will go open source in the future. It doesn't look like Nathan has a revenue model for this so he may be open to that.
