Ask HN: Is it permitted to proxy HackerNews actions
There are many HackerNews readers/clones out there but they are all read-only.
Would it be permitted to make a HN reader in which the user could enter their HN credentials and if they wanted to upvote a story, the HN reader's server could login for the user, get the link with the auth token, and upvote it for them?
It seems that I am giving the HN reader the rights to act on my behalf so it should be ok - but I didn't see a TOS or anything that referenced it.
