Show HN: A web API to query HN posts(stories only) in a customized way
- abhishekjha 9y agoAs a new user to HN I was curious about all the context I can gain from earlier posts and the native search engine isn't flexible enough(not enough customization). Made a spring web API over the weekend to query HN stories in a better customized way. I am still to put a front end onto it(shelving it as I am not very good with JS). It does take significantly longer to query as it scans over like 2.2 million stories and I haven't had enough time to optimize queries(any suggestion will be awesome). However it does get the work done. Anything that I need to improve? Any suggestion(s) will be more than welcomed.
