How to Create a Simple Hacker News Reader with Qt Network and JSON
- vivaladav 10y agoHi, I am the author of this tutorial and I would like to mention that while working on it I realised that a proper Hacker News reader would be an interesting project to work on and I might decide to go for it if enough people are interested. Would you use it on your desktop computer (Linux, OS X and/or Windows)? If yes, which features would you like to see in the first version?

Links to the url in the Archive, Google cache, etc. Maybe a tag or icon if the url is a video, pdf, etc or favicon from the website. A sidebar with a list of all the urls posted in the comments for easy.

- pritambaral 10y agoQuite a lot of those features and the better navigation can be done with a web app too, which would be simpler to install than a desktop client.

- isfield 10y agoAny idea's worthwhile as a personal learning project. From my perspective I wouldn't use it, simply because the web page is so efficient it even works great on my low powered windows phone.
