I've been using and working on my custom hacker news frontend for a few years now. As the name suggests, it only has minor "improvements" compared to the official website. It has a dark theme, (IMO) better layout and typography and it's a SPA with server side rendering.<p>Currently you cannot login, vote and post comments.<p>Tech used:<p>- Angular (Universal)<p>- <a href="https://github.com/tastejs/hacker-news-pwas" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tastejs/hacker-news-pwas</a> (which has been archived as I just noticed)
