Hi everyone, I've made this Hacker news clone just recently using their official Firebase Api.

It's completely client-side rendered using React JS, with no additional libraries or add-ons (used useContext hook for partial state management), except that I used React Router for app routing.

As for the styling goes, I've used vanilla CSS and tried to keep the UI as simple as I could, and to stay away from looking too flashy and too modern, with little or no animations at all. I added the dark mode for easy night time reading.

Let me know what you guys think about it :)

Looks like a fun project, but for styling it’s still too flashy and modern IMHO. I react the way to most redesigns so it could be more me than you.

That said, I don’t think you’re trying to be a designer for hackers and the cool stuff is probably under the hood, and it’s a good example of what’s possible with just an API.
