Why does it need phantomjs? There is an official HN api that can be used. If it uses phantomjs why not just use lynx/links/links2?

- crypticlizard 11y agoHe did it as a quick hack, I imagine he just didn't notice the API
- Gonzih 11y agoBut there are dozens of quick hacks like that on the internet. I have 4 similar things on my github account. Nothing special about them. I never though there might be any need to put that on a HN.
- reimertz 11y agoNothing special about them. I never though there might be any need to put that on a HN. Apparently they are special enough to get more upvotes than other stuff. Maybe you should reconsider submitting one of your hacks. :)
- mbreese 11y agoMy (quick) reading of the API doesn't mention upvotes (since it's a data-dump to Firebase). This go-hn hack includes logging in and upvoting, which is a nice feature.
