HackerWeb is a mobile-friendly web application for reading Hacker News, designed to look and feel like a native iOS app with a fallback 'web' theme for other platforms. It is built with vanilla JavaScript, Hogan.js templating, client-side storage, and an unofficial Hacker News API.
Use cases
- read hacker news on my phone
- hacker news client with native app feel
- mobile-friendly hn reader

When to choose
