I find myself once again missing Usenet.

Perhaps if LW had an API we could get back to writing specially-designed clients, which could do all the aggregation magic we might hope for?

"Recent comments" page has a feed.

I was hoping for a rather richer API than that. "Recent comments" doesn't even include scores.

That's a trivial mod that Trike has time for. Do you want to specify what data you would like in an API, or try and get the code working yourself?

I really should try and do it myself - for one thing, that means I can develop server and client in parallel.
