Around a little more than a year ago, thanks to the advancements in agentic coding, I created my personal ideal HN reading app.\nThere are oh so many of those, but this one is mine. I couldn\u2019t write syntax in any programming language if my life depended on it, so I was glad to have different models help me in that regard. I\u2019m transparent about it, because a lot of HN users might view this negatively and I don\u2019t want to mislead anyone.<p>The updated feature set includes:<p>* Updated UI for everything, including the story view with a favicon and simplified actions.\n* Dark mode switching based on device settings as a default, but optional setting\n* Responsive design for hopefully easier reading on mobile\n* On Desktop split view: the comment section opening up with the story list as a sidebar for easier story switching.\n* Updated thread design\n* Added Save functionality<p>As I\u2019m only an avid reader, not really contributor, I don\u2019t really care about any account management or reply features. Nothing in here requires an account. Saving a story is simply locally done.<p>I know there are some controversial things in this app, like the use of a JS framework for something as simple as this, or the color of the main nav (which doesn\u2019t pass AA). I tried to appeal to some of the audiences whims, like making the general comment UI relatively dense (I feel this crowd appreciates it!), but I want to make one thing very clear: I built this for me and not necessarily anyone else. I didn\u2019t really anticipate to share this, I just wanted to make something nice and proper for myself. I\u2019d love some feedback, but I guess I can make my life easy and just say: \u201cI like it this way\u201d.<p>If you find this useful, great - let me know in a comment. If you find this dreadful, feel free to tell me why.<p>PS: as for the name, I misremembered the movie \u201cHackers\u201d to be called \u201cHackerz\u201d for whatever reason and based it off this.<p>I\u2019m going to go to sleep now - bye!", "5": "2026-08-23T07:07:43.698191"} | |
