Hi, I am the developer who started this project. Please let me know any comments, feedback, ideas or issues you have with the project. It is a work in progress (WIP) so I'm looking more for comments about structure, code design etc.

Please see the project README.md. Pull requests are welcome. I think this could be a valuable community project to demo a slightly larger app using React, Apollo, GraphQL and other web projects.

I believe this would have 10x as many upvotes on hacker news if there was a live demo.

Maybe worth reposting in a week or so with a live demo link.

Nice work, regardless!

Hey mate thanks for the kind words. I think you may be right, I'll take your advice.

Is there a live demo running anywhere?

Currently the easiest way to see it is to run this long command in terminal: git clone https://github.com/clintonwoo/hackersnews-react-graphql.git && cd hackersnews-react-graphql && npm install && npm run dev

I think it'd be more convenient to deploy onto Heroku (Free) or AWS (free tier) and reposted. It's a lot easier to load a web page than it is to clone and build from source. Link it up on the GH Readme prominently, too.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll work out where the project is going to pull data from then host it as a demo. Also need to work out where it will store data (in memory, or couple it to a db).
