I have recently started following hacker news and the size of the fonts and layout were making it a bit hard for me to read on my little netbook. So I just wrote a few lines of code to reformat the hacker news for me.<p>Have a look at the 'Lite' version here http://www.skillendar.com/hackernews<p>Just so you know, it's a cut down version and submissions, comments etc. will still have to be done on the original hacker news website.<p>If you guys like it, feel free to use it for easy reading.
I said that I would do this tomorrow in my last post, but couldn't resist the temptation to play with the code again :) here you go <a href="http://www.skillendar.com/hackernews/noajax.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.skillendar.com/hackernews/noajax.aspx</a> this is the non-Ajax version.
Sorry guys, it's mainly to do with the security settings on your browsers. I am using JQuery/ AJAX to call the proxy on my server which is getting blocked by your OS/Browser. This is the only optimum way that I could think of to parse the Hacker news website and reformat the HTML
Has anyone tried the new version yet?<a href="http://www.skillendar.com/hackernews/noajax.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.skillendar.com/hackernews/noajax.aspx</a><p>I have added a 2 minutes cache to speed up the browsing as well
