Show HN: A plain text HN reader
- SuperNinKenDo 8y agoLooks appalling on mobile, which seems like a wasted opportunity given that's one of the platforms one might want to use this on.

- sixhobbits 8y agoHey all, I didn't have long so this doesn't work on mobile and it has very limited functionality (shows the plain text of articles on the front page of HN). I wanted something that a) loads fast (articles are pre-downloaded and parsed every 10 minutes so that I can serve up only static text) b) emphasises text (CSS shamelessly stolen from [0]) There are a ton of other HN readers out there, so would love to hear if this is a look/feel that others might be interested in using. The text is pretty buggy for some sources (article extraction is a really hard problem) but in the morning when I have a few minutes I like to spend them reading text instead of closing tracking cookie overlays :) [0] https://perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com/ https://perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com/
