Hey Crisa. Great job

Are you going to publish how you made the site?

Content aggregation of niche topics can be hard as many trusted sources also publish non-niche topics.

And untrusted sources can publish gens of wisdom occasionally too.

Thank you for the feedback! I wasn't sure if people would be interested in how I made it. But yes I could publish that. I used the Next.js framework because I didn't want to set up an entire backend server in a separate repo. Besides that, I just inspected HackerNews's frontend code in Chrome Dev Tools to copy the simple UI/UX of this magnificent site!

Now I need to learn how to make the site better and gather more people. I am working on deeply nested comments right now and an RSS feed.
