    You have done well, some practice is always fine. Nice job. Only thing is, I am not convinced by the font and colour.

      @duiker101, thank you for the compliments. regarding the font and color do let me know your recommendations.

        You don't need to preface your comment with the name of the user you are responding to. The fact that your comment is right below and indented one level is a dead giveaway that you are responding to the parent comment.

  I think there are like 20-30 services doing the same thing. Most common Show HN seems to be a Show HN aggregator.

Also https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=title%3Ashow+hn&sortby=create_ts+desc https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/submissions&q=ti... Indexing the text of the first post and doing a "google suggest" kind of search box might be interesting though.

  @ck2 i currently don't have a database, each request make a api call to hnsearch and displays a formatted response. maybe, i can make the "google suggest" for my next app...

The article links on the left and the info panel (containing author, "Open in HN" link, and the points) on the right are not aligned. I'm not sure if you designed it that way but personally I would prefer them aligned. Other than that, good job! Congrats.
- capsicum 13y ago
  @_crumbs thanks. Regarding the alignment, they are center aligned i will tweak it to see if right alignment works better.

    The problem is, the links to the right are a little way down from the titles to the left. I was confused for a moment, trying to connect one with the other. Also, you should update your <title> and maybe your favicon. But these are minor details. Good job.

      i will fix those, thanks

a link to the comments would be useful addition (e.g. "this post updates itself" I want to see the comments)

Nice job! Are you applying some filters for showing posts or every post with "Show HN" will appear there?
- capsicum 13y ago
  thanks and regarding filters, am using https://www.hnsearch.com/api https://www.hnsearch.com/api as the data source and the 3 filters "score, create_ts, points" with descending sort.
