A drop in replacement for Hacker News with support for dark mode, quotes in comments, user identicons and submission favicons.
- Developed against a generic Worker Runtime so that it can run on Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy and even the browser's Service Worker.
- Can be installed + offline support: Same code that runs on the edge powers the PWA.
- Everything is stream/async generator-based: API calls, HTML scraping, HTML responses, even JSON stringification and parsing.
- Supports 3 API backends: HTML scraping from news.ycombinator.com, HTTP requests to HN API and HN API via Firebase.
- Built using my own web framework, Worker Tools, which is specifically developed to run across CF Workers, Deno and Service Workers.
