Hacker News Reader

The official HN front page is already pretty good on UI density, so it’s promising that you’re using that as a starting point.

Is there any chance https://hcker.news is related to https://hckrnews.com? The dense layout feels similar.

I haven't set up my about page yet but I was going to attribute much my design to their page. I've taken a ton of inspiration from hckernews.com because it's the front page I always frequented prior to making this. My primary issue with it was that I wanted more sorting capabilities (aggregate mode), and wanted to be able to see the highest engagement threads (by comments).

Very cool. I have something similar that's more of a running timeline than a view of the front page. I need to work on the controls so you can better specify thresholds.

this quite nice as it reminds me of a good ol rss reader.

regarding controls, one of the dumb reasons i wanted to remake hckernews is i don’t like the two taps to change the view.. im happy with the brutalist settings panel up top.
