[–] gitgud 5y ago ↗ Just curious how news.ycombinator.com isn't sufficient?It's probably the lightest-weight site I know of...
[–] karmakaze 5y ago ↗ I made/use https://hackerer.news (click heading to switch story lists)It's not at all quiet--no audio but has dense text.
[–] gabrielsroka 5y ago ↗ I wrote my own using the official HN API. It's about 100 lines of JavaScript. It keeps track (using localStorage) of which articles I've already seen, so I won't see them again. https://gabrielsroka.github.io/hn.htmlSource is also on GitHub. Feel free to fork, open a PR, etc. https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...
