I forked pajecawav’s better-hn repo, which turned out to be an excellent foundation to build on. While the original implementation was clean and functional, it didn’t quite capture the essence of Hackernews. More importantly, it was missing some features I considered essential for a truly viable alternative.
After tinkering with it for a while, I think I’ve nailed it—at least for my own use case. If it works well for me, chances are others might find it useful too. So I figured, why not share it?
Pretty straightforward: no ads, no tracking, no monetization schemes and no intention to do so. Just a simple deployment on Vercel’s free tier, which costs me exactly nothing. I’m not expecting millions of users (let’s be realistic), but we’ll see how it scales if people actually start using it.
Any feedback is welcome, or just use it.
