Thanks for the feedback, I guess I tried to copy the style exactly except using newer html / css than tables. I'm thinking maybe a chrome extension might be a better choice for this, especially since the API leaves a lot to be desired. It shows links for both github and gitlab links. Edit: I changed the logo and favicon from a Y to a C.

It looks fine to me. You might make the top color different; then it would obviously be distinct. > the API leaves a lot to be desired Yes, it does. We're going to make a new API that gives you a simple JSON version of any HN URL. Would that address any of the concerns you encountered?

  That would definitely be what I was hoping for. The main problems I had were: 1. The stories endpoints were limited to 200 or 500 results, not paginated. 2. I had to loop over and send a request to all the individual stories to check if the url was from github or gitlab. 3. There was not an endpoint for "show new" (/shownew) 4. It was unclear from the docs what is shown on the website homepage (beststories or topstories?)

    Ok, that's a good confirmation that it's the right approach. Sorry I don't have a timeline for you but we'll get there.

    You might wanna take a look at https://github.com/cheeaun/node-hnapi https://github.com/cheeaun/node-hnapi for an alternative API
