Show HN: I made a slower, delayed Hacker News
- gus_massa 5y agoHow does this compare with the version made by cperviva http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/ http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/ ? (I'm not complaining. Each one can implement their own version. Moreover, perhaps you didn't know about it.)
- aramadia 5y agoDidn't know it existed, perhaps I would've used it. I like hckrnews.com interface, but wanted some help to reduce my screen time.
- user123456780 5y agoI really like this interface. If this had a 'fast' version it would replace the landing page of hacker news for me
- dcchambers 5y agoI think what you want exists: https://hckrnews.com https://hckrnews.com Edit: Actually, now that I have read the about page for slowhn, it's literally a clone of hckrnews with some features stripped out and some intentional "rate limiting" to slow down how quickly new stories appear.
- fraXis 5y agoNice work! The about section says that it updates once per day. What time of day does it update?
- eyelidlessness 5y agoI saw the title, misunderstood the nature of the delay, and thought “oh are you developing a SPA framework?” (no I’m not disparaging SPAs or their frameworks; this is a reference to, IIRC, SolidJS creator’s reasonable point that HN clones make for poor SPA performance demos because HN will always be faster). Anyway, I was very confused when the page loaded almost instantly, but thankfully the About page does too :)
- capableweb 5y agoHN clones aren't always slower than real HN! Maybe I'm cheating a bit, but I'm developing a HN client that is a offline-first desktop client, and it's way faster than official HN can ever be, as accessing local disk is most certainly faster than accessing network resources :) But again, I'm cheating a bit.
- WalterGR 5y agoIf I may be so bold, as I’m not the submitter: https://www.slowhn.com/static/about.html https://www.slowhn.com/static/about.html “SlowHN is a clone of hckrnews.com because I wanted to stop compulsively checking the website every hour. This shows the top stories from yesterday, and only updates once per day like a newspaper.”
- dmje 5y agoI like it a lot. Two things: it'd be great to be able to sort by comments / points, and you have a broken link - click about and then about again (suggest this link should actually change to "home" when you're on the about page).
- NithurM 5y agoYOur UI kills me. Dope stuff.
- mcovalt 5y agoCheck out https://news.ycombinator.com/best https://news.ycombinator.com/best I believe it’s the same thing that you made. I changed my bookmark to that URL. I think it makes me spend less time on here.
- aramadia 5y agoI tried that and /front as well, but I developed a even strong reload habit trying to find a new story. Glad it works for you!
- pyHxo1 5y agoIt would be great if you added a rss feed that updates once a day
- aramadia 5y agoLooks like someone already did it (from another comment). http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/ http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/
- nickm12 5y agoLooks like the exact same thing with the exact same name has been done before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16171235 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16171235
