- Comment’s “Thread view” to list all parent comments of a comment, on a flat list, for easy reading instead of manually drilling down the nested comments.
- “Share as Image” for comments, which allows sharing of a specific comment, optionally including the parent comments and/or story, as an image.
HackerWeb is a super-clean Hacker News app built for maximum readability and has a lean set of features to optimize the reading experience.
- Smart indentations and formatting for comments, complementing the existing limited formatting from Hacker News.
- Automatic syntax highlighting for code blocks in comments, with best-effort programming language detection.
HackerWeb is an unofficial Hacker News client, built with React Native and Expo.
It’s created specifically with iOS design guidelines in mind, so it feels native and blends well with the operating system.
- Allow interactions like upvoting and replying, which opens up web view with login information and sessions stored in itself, instead of the app.
- Automatic Dark mode, respecting the system’s appearance settings.
This is a passion side project for learning and experimenting ideas.
