Hacker News Reader

Wow, what a ride. As a non-gamer, I clicked the link, saw a site that looks like it's Best Viewed In Internet Explorer, with a ticker of an obscenely high dollar amount. It took me a good 2 minutes to figure out this was about a video game.

I'm very impressed they managed to raise this kind of money with a site like this.

Regardless of Star Citizen being a huge scam, a Hackernews encountering a site that does not look like all the b2b SaaS sites and being surprised that it managed to raise money is extremely funny.

I said impressed, not surprised. Also I don't appreciate being called "a Hackernews".

The website is a fun mix of ancient Vue that was written a decade ago alongside an ongoing overhaul that has replaced the menu and most main pages with React.
