I've been using and working on my custom hacker news frontend for a few years now. As the name suggests, it only has minor "improvements" compared to the official website. It has a dark theme, (IMO) better layout and typography and it's a SPA with server side rendering.

Currently you cannot login, vote and post comments.

Tech used:

- Angular (Universal)

- https://github.com/tastejs/hacker-news-pwas (which has been archived as I just noticed)

What made you choose Angular?

It's the framework I'm most familiar with. As it was intended to be a personal project I just chose it because it was the easiest way for me to build it.
