Is the website open source by chance? I'm going to build my own HN frontend this summer. Edit: Emailed OP: >Thanks for reaching out. >It's written in ReactJS, and using https://chakra-ui.com/ https://chakra-ui.com/ for components. Hosted on Netlify. >Serverless api written in NodeJS. Running in Vercel. Image extractor for every post is written in NodeJs. Running in Heroku. >I didn't open source the code, because I'll sell the app to anyone interested in it. Let me know how I can help.

  Hey mate, thanks for sharing the previous launch link. In this launch, i have improved the design and incorporated feedbacks and suggestions received from the community. And i read that we can launch our product on HN twice, considering we are not spamming and should have some improvements from the last launch. Happy to know more about it.
