I wish for a combo of HACK and Octal. I like the UI of Octal more but it doesn’t support notifications nor does it show your comment karma (which isn’t a big deal but it’s a little annoying). Also Octal has some weird bugs like not removing the downvote button after 24 hours so you just get an odd error when you click it. And the thing that bugs me the most where if you swipe back then change your mind you can’t swip…

My issues with Octal are that it doesn’t show my reply immediately after posting and worse: it always throws an error when I edit my replies even though the edit worked in the background. It also collapses double spacing on edit sometimes. It’s a pretty bad app unless you’re just reading. I assume the developer never touched it again after deploying it which wouldn’t be an issue if you didn’t have to pay to unlock co…

I completely agree with you. I think you hit the nail on the head, it’s good for reading and not much more. The UI is pretty good but the UX leaves a lot to be desired.

Nothing special going on with my system-- just Firefox with ublock origin.

Do you happen to have any additional block lists populated apart from the default ones by uBO? -- I also have the same setup but it works for me.

I am in Firefox 118. I added your domain to the exception list in uBO and the error still happens. The only request that was being blocked was the Vercel analytics request, but on the safe list that doesn't get blocked and the error still happens.

Standard privacy settings in Firefox.

React error claims to be "Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [missing argument]). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead."

Probably useless information... looks to die in the hydration of the page. There's a flash of the HN header and "Loading..." before it dies.

My hunch is the whole web api caching thingy... maybe don't do anything fancy.

What prevented you from fetching the top stories and caching on the server? Couldn't the server render the react components for all pages/comments? Why does it even need to run anything client side?

Page doesn't do anything useful with JS disabled.. you should be able to at least render the stories/comments/etc.
