Based on the Firebase HN API, I made a web client that updates stories and scores in real-time.

No need to refresh your browser anymore to see new stories and comments.

Also, I used a responsive design to be able to read the stories on my mobile phone.

For now, I only show the top stories, up to 100 of them ( that's how many the API gives you anyway ).

If people find it useful, I might add other things. Hope OAuth becomes available so I can add up-voting and comment adding.

Very nice except for the animations.

(am I the only on who fears that Material Design (when overused) can become the new Flash?)

Same thing here. I was using http://hckrnews.com/ on my tablet because of the non-responsiveness of Hacker News but http://hack.ernews.info/ seems better because it includes comments and use the new API. Thank you !

I kind of like material design, but I'm not a designer myself. So I get that my implementation might be crappy.

I have no problem to disable them ( optionally maybe? ) for whoever thinks they are annoying.

Nice! I really like the animations actually. Now all it needs is upvoting and commenting built in (but obviously HN would have to enable that part of the API - which I assume is disabled).

Good job on separating the comments visually.

This is much more usable, not to mention responsive.

Well done!
