Hacker News Reader

I'm literally browsing hacker news right now to procrastinate work on an Angular task. I can't think of a less boring technology, I've been writing it for a couple years and it's still not simple to work with.

Switch to React if you can. I've been using Angular for years and the solution to problems is generally "more magic". Its so convoluted these days I don't think its even realistic to build an Angular app outside of angular-cli.

Ever tried iconic? It may still feel boring but it makes things easier when developing.

I like ionic a d it deffinitely is better than plain Angular. But Ionic is VERY immature technology: they keep moving the goal post and changing things. The latest version again changes crap with the replacement of Cordova.

And if you search their forums on how to do something (like take a video in mobile and then showing it on the ui) it depends on each version and there are no clear answer.

I wouldn't call them immature, they could probably be called fast paced.

It might help if you stick to one version until shipping something meaningful
