Hello people, author here. Some while ago I made an Hacker News clone reader app and I've posted it here.
The feedback from the HN community was that it was mostly ok, but the issues were that it was a little bit slower and it lacked information density (because the UI was different, more 'modern' than the original).
So I've decided to refactor my code, and I managed to speed up the loading times quite a bit, and redesigned it by adding a close to the original (but somewhat more colorful) UI, and did some corrections on the app's initial (modern) look. The dark theme is available on both modern and classic views.
It is made with React JS (as it was before), but now I've used Redux (instead of React's built-in Context) to do the partial state managment, as it gave the app a significant performance boost.
Because it is client side rendered, the Javascript is needed to run the app.
