Show HN: Offline HN with comments and authors ranked, for plane/train journeys
- danielhunt 8y agoThis looks really useful for commutes. Will be trying this one out tomorrow I think. The comments look a bit weird though. Don't fit the look/feel of the rest. Love how the articles are embedded though.
- vinnyglennon 8y agoDid you get to use it? :)
- vinnyglennon 8y agoComments now threadable as well. If there was an historial discussion on the story, links to all the previous discussions will appear just above the comments too.
- CiaranR 8y agoLove this, will use for the underground commutes. Would like to see the stories numbered struggling to sperate the stories. Also maybe a way to turn the snipits of?
- drooney 8y agoUseful for tunnel part of commutes - a little annoying to have to remember to update, assume its a PoC for an app? something like the Economist's Espresso? Be handy to have to hand when the wifi cuts out on the train as a distraction
- vinnyglennon 8y agoThanks, The website will check if there is a updated version, and only then will the reload button appear. It works by checking https://hnify.com/caching.manifest https://hnify.com/caching.manifest regularly whose timestamp I change when I update the content.
- Fudgel 8y agoNice work.
- vinnyglennon 8y agoAnything I could do to make it more useful to you? I had full audio transcripts there, but removed it when I realised I never used them.
- Fudgel 8y agoI would love it if you added the Show HN section as well as that's one of my favourite parts of Hacker News.
- vinnyglennon 8y agoGreat suggestion. It now shows front_page/ShowHN with over 5 points from last 2 days. You can also see your historial posting position: https://hnify.com/leaderboard.html#Fudgel https://hnify.com/leaderboard.html#Fudgel
- Fudgel 8y agoAwesome, thanks!
- em-bee 8y agonice. looks better than other efforts i have seen. i don't see a way to access the actual hn comment page of articles though.
- vinnyglennon 8y agoThanks. Anything that would make it more useful for you? In the comments section, just click on the timestamp(about 4 hours ago for example), which will bring you straight to the news.ycombinator.com comment thread.
- em-bee 8y agoi was kind of expeciting a link that would go directly to the original comment page, as an alternative to the cached comment section, so that i can choose between opening the cached comments or going directly to the live ones
- vinnyglennon 8y agoIs having each hnify comment linkable in timestamp is an okay solution for now?
- em-bee 8y agosee above. it doesn't work if there are no comments
- em-bee 8y agothis only works if there are comments. on an article without any comments, there doesn't seem to be a link to the comment page. at the top, just below the headline of the article, an additional link to the original comment page would be useful.
