Hi everyone! I love Hacker News, the problem is that, like all social platforms, it easily becomes a slot machine. Every time you look there is a new post or comment! HackerDaily is built to alleviate this problem as well as a few others: -

That is correct. HackerDaily only shows posts with a score of a hundred and higher. The posts are ranked by score, so you only see the best posts per day.

Hi Hacker News! This summer I wanted to learn some new technologies, in particular Postgres, Hasura and Tailwind. To learn these technologies in a fun way I made HackerDaily. It’s a way to read Hacker News in a more informative and less add

I will start looking into how to make the code open source before launching the project officially! Unfortunately I won't be able to submit the project to https://hnpwa.com since they only allow (more or less) direct copies

This is an interesting idea! The problem is that you regularly get 8+ levels deep, so that's a lot of clicks. Maybe two buttons (for parent and for top-level parent) might do the trick?

Yes, need to fix this. Thank you!

Yes, I am aware of the issue (see my recent comment on one of the parent comments). I am afraid that it is an issue with the way some browsers render the CSS sticky position. If you have any CSS knowledge, I would greatly appreciate your in

Thank you, this truly warms my heart! I have poured too many hours of my life into this little detail. It still doesn't work great though: 1. It is hard to click on on mobile devices 2. It sometimes renders behind the comment or is not

Thank you, I'll probably post it on the main page when It's a bit more finished.

It depends on the webpage, if the webpage is not an article it just redirects to the webpage. If there is a book icon before the the title the webpage has been converted to an article.

That's weird! I've used it mainly on Chrome so far and I've not yet encountered this problem. Does it keep happening or was it once?

HackerNews has an open API ( https://github.com/HackerNews/API ). It doesn't say anything specific about the legality and there have been many HackerNews clones in the past. So as far as I know it should not be a pr

Thank you! I mainly build it to learn GraphQL and Postgres for myself. But if people are interested, I could share the source in the future.

I had the exact same problem. There are a lot of interesting discussions, but its way easier to distinguish the interesting from the useless discussions when they're done instead of ongoing. I find that I read more carefully and focuse

It takes all posts that were posted on a certain day (based on your local timezone) and shows these posts ordered by their score. To keep it clean only posts with a score of 50 or higher are shown. (I might change this number though, if peo

These sentiments are quite familiar to me. That's why I've been building my own HN copy ( https://hackerdaily.io ). It shows all posts per day, which has a few benefits: 1. It doesn't become an addictive slot machin

The foundation package sounds a lot like the Lion components that ING Bank open sourced last year. It is indeed super handy to not have to worry about all the browser compatibility and accessibility issues!

But is spamming not in its essence 'unethical'? It might not be illegal, but it is morally at least questionable and many will say it's unambiguously immoral.

SEO ‘hacking’ is clearly positive for the businesses doing it, but the benefits on a larger scale are less clear cut. Do you believe strategies such as outlined in the article are a net positive, negative, or a neutral tactic for search eng

But to what extent is it 'publicly distributing' when the app has only 200 users. It sounds more like an extended beta than a 'clever' way to circumvent the app review process. And, as the author extensively explains, th
