Nice work. Minor issue, but when I open the Menu with M, the focus should be in the dropdown menu, so I can navigate it with the arrow up and down. Otherwise, works great!
Great site! On iPhone, if you are tapping a button on the bottom rapidly, (like if you just double tap the down button) it triggers the page to zoom in. It looks like there is an easy css fix for that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46167604/ios-html-disabl...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Good point. On a large screen most of the space is wasted: a blurred column on the left and empty space on the right. This accounts for 2/3 of the of the space. Please use all of it :)
At some point during development you could actually see all the columns clearly and most of the screen space was used but it was very disorienting, at least for me. That's why I removed it. But I guess some people think differently, so maybe I'm gonna add an option for that.
It simply shows a loading animation for me. It raises "Error: No available storage method found" on line 2718 of localforage.js. This is Firefox 92 on Ubuntu 24.04.3. It works in Chrome, but I don't use it as my main browser. Spent a minute on it just to see the vim-style navigation, pretty cool. Hope the bug report helps!
Can you please avoid blurring the prior column (or at least the comment you came from)? It's useful to see context that way. Otherwise I think it's really good. Reddit should have aspired to something this well thought out. (I'd also like page up / page down.)
Probably not to everyone's taste but I'd prefer for the active news item to be in the center of the screen and not at the top. I keep scanning down the page with my eyes and then realising I need to press down 20 times to get to where I scanned, I probably wouldn't scan so far ahead if it was vertically centered but also the page up/down would alleviate some of this.
Otherwise very refreshing and looking forward to see it iterated.
This was surprisingly pleasant to use. Such intuitive controls and sane default behaviors. Usually HN clones are a dime a dozen, but this one is a cut above for sure. The only thing keeping me from using this full time is the information density. On normal HN I see the top 30 links all at once. On this one I only see the top 11 links before I have to scroll. I think a "high info density mode" where I could see the to…
That's actually a great idea. If you say "high density", do you mean just less whitespace/spacing or should stuff like the upvotes, author and date be completely removed from the initial element?
Also nitpick, Alt-H is not an easy key to hit on mac, why not just '?'
This looks great! The animations are smooth, and the details seem to load fast. How about you try a specific subreddit?
I was actually thinking about adding support for reddit. Might add that in the future.
It looks nice. I like to use the mouse anyway. Each post has the number of comments, something like " 123 comments -> " Can you make the number of comments and the arrow clickable? Also, the " " inside each post. It I'm reading a comment, the author and " open " should be clickable too. I didn't understand what " open " means, perhaps change it to " open in HN ".
I'll consider changing it to "Open in HN". It is more clear about what it does but it's also longer and maybe a bit redundant.
