   Thank you for this, this is exactly the kind of feedback I appreciate so much. It was my intention to have people follow along step by step, so I apologize for having some unnecessary complexity in the middle that sort of stopped you from f

   Yeah someone else mentioned they were seeing the same thing, weird I didn't see this issue at all. But he did solve it by just manually updating the value in angular-cli.json ( https://github.com/angular/angular-cli

   I built a Hacker News client with Angular 2 ( https://angular2-hn.firebaseapp.com ) and shared it here a short while ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12438119 ). Got some very useful feedback and thought i

   Just fixed this. Each comment/post doesn't download through a separate request anymore. The main page now takes ~ 3.8 KB on my site, almost half of the original site :)

   And done. With this absolutely amazing API ( https://github.com/cheeaun/node-hnapi/ ), items don't load individually and everything loads roughly with half the bandwidth than right here on the original site. No

   Okay weird, yeah not sure why it's happening for me. And thanks so much for spotting that, will fix that up.

    Okay it's not the iPhone, it's just Safari for some reason. Tried on Chrome and everything loads perfectly fine (I like the experience on mobile). I can add stories and everything no problem. On Safari I don't see any request

    Update: Just fixed the comment section to not load individually async. It now loads at a proper speed. A post with > 1000 comments now takes ~ 200ms and 130KB (where it used to take ~15X longer). Appreciate all the feedback folks. I&#x27

    Fair point, I can see how that can feel like you're left at a random location. One other thing I noticed is that stories don't seem to load on my iPhone, but works fine on browser. Not sure why though.

    Thanks! Yep absolutely speed definitely needs work. And yeah for sure apps like Materialistic, HackerNews-React-Native are way more fully fledged.

    This is cool! Thanks for sharing. I like how you can open the comments inline. One thing I think that might be cool to add would collapse button that shows (bottom right the screen maybe?) when you open inline comments. It would be nice to

    Very good point, I have the loading indicators show immediately if the response isn't received. Any slight internet connection issues or even just a slight stagger for the requests to complete, it'll show the loading icons. Thanks

    Thank you. And really eh? Hmmm haven't tested on an Android device throughly and it does load pretty decently on my iPhone. But as someone already mentioned here, there definitely is some work that needs to be done to speed up the requ

    Yeah it's completely different. Will definitely suggest looking into it a bit before making the switch especially if you're planning to do so for a large project. There's quite a bit of overhead you most definitely would have

    Oh thanks for that mate will definitely look into this, especially the free tier

    Thank you! Yeah I was thinking that too, I need to look into caching the requests so it doesn't get hit every single time.

    Thank you, you're right I'm loading every item individually async from the official API. Not only are the requests unnecessarily large, it can take a while to load with a large number of comments. Definitely something to work on a

    Yeah I know, another Hacker News client? There seems to be a new one everyday. I wanted to build one with a responsive UI that would provide a `native` feel regardless of which device you use. Decided to use Angular CLI, RxJS and Webpack to
