Is there a hacker news client which focuses more on typography. I use official hacker news site on Web. On a Retina Mac book Pro with 13-inch screen. I find the fonts too small. Also, one major issue is the line height. Even with browser zomming, the text lines seem to be too close together.<p>I wonder if other hacker news members also find this problematic.
Cool, I was just getting started with Angular 2 and Typescript (coming from Angular 1) and I think your example is just the perfect way to understand how an app is to be made with it :)<p>How is angular-cli different from angular's quick start or a seed project setup ?
This is well done, but it proves to me that we are not there yet with javascript really replacing mobile apps, even on a such a simple app:<p>When you click on a news and then you go back to the ng2 app it takes more than a second to load back the js code when compared to any native HN app.<p>This is a big limitation for a news reader: of course the javascript app cannot stay in memory when you leave the page and then come back to it.
Really cool. Love angular-cli so far. Would like to see the styling from <a href="https://vue-hn.now.sh/top" rel="nofollow">https://vue-hn.now.sh/top</a> used as I think the animations are challenging to replicate in angular 2.
This looks good !<p>btw I am trying to learn service workers and wanted to check how you have implemented the offline support, but when I checked<p><a href="https://github.com/hdjirdeh/angular2-hn/blob/master/src/service-worker.js" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/hdjirdeh/angular2-hn/blob/master/src/serv...</a> it's empty .. am I missing something ?
Firstly, I love your app.<p>This is kind of a nitpick, but on the desktop version, hovering over the menu options "new, show, ask, and jobs" makes the text bold and pushes the other text aside. It's a little weird. Perhaps work with a fixed width for each menu item so it doesn't push the other items.
Shameless plug. I built a native Mac Hacker News client. Mackernews. <a href="http://mackernews.com" rel="nofollow">http://mackernews.com</a> you can login vote, comment, post, upvote in a native interface. It tries to render a reable web version of the article when possible :)
Working offline is cool but the app feels noticably slower than the plain html version for navigating between comments and main pages. Tested on Firefox and Chrome (Android)
"Progressive" HN client just ships JS without any server rendering..HN is exactly the kind of application that you would expect to work without any JS.
Is there any client that:<p>- Has all features (up/down voting)<p>- Has >= performance (apparently this one doesn't)<p>- Has good large font support
