Hacker News Reader

I’d be interested in checking out your site. I normally only have a 2G connection on my phone, I’d love to be able to read something that’s NOT HN. This site is the only site I know that takes less than 5-10 mins to load, if it loads at all.

View on HN

Ok, here it is https://ricklove.me

Here is a post that explains some of the content that is interesting: https://ricklove.me/cool-stuff

Let me know how it does on a slow connection.

I'm quite sad that hunter2 isn't in your passwords.txt

Good idea :) I’ll add that.

I guess I’ll know if someone finds the Bitcoin.

Update: I added a few more nerd lore passwords - thanks for the idea!

It took 30s to 60s to fully load, but the content was available very quickly. The most entertaining thing was the stripe example. I didn’t realize it was supposed to load the card form, so I hit subscribe and it caused an error (because the card form wasn’t loaded yet) but the app handled it appropriately. It would be better if the subscribe button were disabled before the component loaded (which took at least a minute), but it’s still pretty good.

Overall, it was a very refreshing experience.

Ah, makes sense on the stripe component.

I did notice that for some components I need to show a loading indicator while they are loading async (for a slow connection).

Thanks for letting me know!
