A React and react-router-powered client for Hacker News built on its Firebase API. It supports all HN item types, collapsible comment threads, new-comment highlighting, and caching of visits and story listings.
Use cases
- browse hacker news in an alternative web client
- read hn comment threads with collapsible comments
- highlight new comments since my last visit to a story
- see a react implementation of a hacker news client
- catch up on recent comments in threads i was reading elsewhere
- use hacker news with realtime updates via firebase
When to choose
- you want a fast, feature-rich alternative web UI for Hacker News
- you want a reference React + react-router app consuming the HN Firebase API
- you want new-comment tracking and collapsible threads beyond the official HN site
When to avoid
- you need an official or mobile HN client
- you need posting/voting features beyond what the HN API allows
- you need a maintained project - the last release was in 2021
