Providing a link to the comments on hackernews itself would be kind of nice for being able to upvote stories and the like. There are a lot of these in the new sections that I'd like to be able to upvote/downvote without having to navigate to them in HN and such.

The more I am studying React + Redux, the more it becomes apparent to me that it's over engineered for an individual and even a small team. It feels like the Java Swing days where verbosity and architectural opinion dominates all in the name of cross-platformity. Another minus is that you no longer use the existing conventions that stood the test of time, HTML and CSS. It's now JSX and you have to write boilerplate J…

Stop using redux. Try and use react independently. You'll realize redux is completely unneeded. In fact, even flux is unneeded.

Getting into React is kind of mixed bag. The core concepts are easy to understand and compared to other frameworks lean. JSX is easy, components are trivial but once you try to get productive, wow, it's not that simple anymore. It's more than a bit of HTML embedded in JS. So, you need really to spend time to understand the core of React very, very well . And this takes time, effort and at least a couple of real and s…

what about redux? can you do away with Redux and if so what do people use instead?

Hi, I'm the author of this project. The code will be available soon on github: at https://github.com/valentinvieriu/visual-hacker-news - right now that's the old version using Angularjs The project uses as a starting point the amazing Vuejs Implementation from https://github.com/vuejs/vue-hackernews-2.0 . It has super fast server side rendering, that's why the feedback is imediate as you load the page. The thumbnails…

Take this as a personal opinion, but I felt like I was having to work to find the titles...maybe they'd do better on top? Is that something that could be easily A/B tested?

I had the same thought.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's a hard one to do.I agree you can do that now. I'm thinking on a solution, but it's not really easy. Right now I have no solution.

Do what https://hackernewsfilter.com/ does, use a Bloom filter. It's simple enough.

Thank you for this idea. This seems like a quite friendly one. So you are using the Firebase API, and each time a website is added you add i to the Bloom filter? This seems it will work for my website, but then the screenshot api can be use only if you previously pushed that url in the bloom filter

It is on top of my todo list. One bad thing with all those readers on top of the api, is that it makes it easy to read, but does not give the opportunity to rate and by this attacks the foundation of the quality of the articles on the list. I wish that there was a way to do SSO and then have the complete voting experience on your app. But then again, what would be the purpose of the original hacker news website then?

This really is amazing. Probably one of the best clients that's out there at the moment. I recently built a one myself with Angular (https://github.com/hdjirdeh/angular2-hn) so I'm always amazed with all the different clients out there with their own unique twist.

I've always been interested in using Vue, how do you like the framework? Also, which Hacker News API are you using to power this? I'm on mobile so I can't see any of the requests at the moment. But since this is SSR, I probably wouldn't be able to see the API calls anyway.

Cute - but totally the opposite of what I want. Can you make a site that makes Pinterest (and Facebook!) look like HN, reducing each post to a clear, informative headline, so I can quickly scan 25+ posts without having to scroll, and click through to the ones I'm actually interested in?

Agreed. I think HN is the kind of forum where a picture isn't quite worth a thousand words. With these types of articles, I'd be more interested in bulleted summaries than thumbnails. I appreciate HN for being information-dense/text-heavy.
