I built a GraphQL API to cache the responses and dataload them like 2 years ago on top of HN API so it can give nicer responses and don't hit the endpoint as much through batching. It can load entire HN thread in one request. https:&#

Two reasons I use amazon in India over rest. 1. Customer support. 2. Logistics and delivery service. I don't care much about the listing or app since I know what I want to buy and I search for it directly.
