Show HN: Mobile consumable HackerNews cards
- prats226 11y agoHey guys, I am working on a product that makes different links consumable on mobile. Because hackernews is such a rich source of information, I am looking at making a hackernews link consumable on mobile. My biggest issue is the same, lot of information. Our current information on hackernews card shows minimal information about hackernews link. Mainly title, number of upvotes, number of comments and if its an article, then we fetch that article too. Its not a hackernews mobile client but we are doing it for multiple sources like producthunt, imgur etc so you can simple serach everything from this app and share a consumable card. But it is becoming very challanging to do the same for hackernews. I need honest feedback about if it is possible to do it for hackernews at all and if yes, what can I change? I know its a UX problem but I think would be better solved by users who regularly use hackernews We got hunted on producthunt also so will get some feedback there too
- pbroarsdheant1 11y agohow do product hunt cards look like. do u prefetch images and videos?
- prats226 11y agoTaking into account low real estate on mobile device, we do try to make card as consumable as possible. We do show videos and images from producthunt along with card. Try adding links form different sources and you can checkout how they look and post feedback here
- pbroarsdheant1 11y agoreally great consumable cards
- prats226 11y agoWell hackernews card still lacks much information but looking for feedback on how to make it better. There are other sources as well like producthunt, imgur, vine, twitter
