A React &
react-router-powered implementation of
Hacker News using its
Firebase API.
Live version: https://insin.github.io/react-hn
- Supports display of all item types:
stories,
jobs,
polls and
comments
- Basic user profiles
- Collapsible comment threads, with child counts
- "Realtime" updates (free via Firebase!)
- Last visit details for stories are cached in
localStorage
- New comments are highlighted:
- Comments since your last visit to an item
- New comments which load while you're reading an item
- New comments in collapsed threads
- Automatic or manual collapsing of comment threads which don't contain any new
comments
- Manual highlighting of the X most recent comments to catch up on threads you were reading elsewhere
- Stories with new comments are marked on list pages
- Stories can be marked as read to remove highighting from new comments
- "comments" sections driven by the Changed Items API
- Story listing pages are cached in
sessionStorage for quick back button usage
and pagination in the same session
- Configurable settings:
- auto collapse - automatically collapse comment threads without new comments
on page load
- show reply links - show "reply" links to Hacker News
- show dead - show items flagged as dead
- show deleted - show comments flagged as deleted in threads
- Delayed comment detection - so tense! Who will it be? What will they say?
