thekingshorseson Firefox 75.0

As a developer, I just started using loading="lazy" attribute. It has nothing to do with Javascript. It depends on the developer not the browser.

thekingshorseson Google clamps down on free storage

How much does it cost?

thekingshorseson Browsers are pretty good at loading pages

It requires special attention to do it right. It should be more about what works best for your product.

https://reddit.premii.com - Uses client side navigation. Try it on mobile and then desktop. Its not perfect, but works really good for what I want. Its hosted as a static site. I make request to reddit directly to get the content.

thekingshorseson Browsers are pretty good at loading pages

This is what makes it worse.

If you scroll down on the page, and click on the link, it takes you to a new page. Works great.

If you use browser back button, it takes you to the previous page, but scroll position is lost.

thekingshorseson No boundaries for Facebook data: third-party trackers abuse Facebook Login

It's way easier for the developer of the app to steal data in the native app.

Trick user to open FB or any site. Open the requested site in the built-in browser. Let user login to the site, and then scrap all the information. Apple and Google can't stop that.

You can't do that in the browser.

> A native app could leak/abuse information like a web app, but in general the surface area is way smaller for that to happen on iOS

thekingshorseson Hacker News Readers as Progressive Web Apps

Exactly. They are not comparing apples to apples.

Firebase API has gotten slower over the years. That affects Interactive time and lighthouse score. Preact HN uses their own servers, and React HN uses the Firebase API.

Also, some passes site is progressively enhanced check because some elements are rendered without JS. Which results in higher score.

Preact HN loads offline but without content. Lighthouse assumes that app works offline, but in reality app is useless without actual stories.

I use Firebase API in my web app (https://hn.premii.com/) and scrap YC in my downloadable app (https://hn.premii.com/about/). Both has different actual and perceived performance.

Write operations are not possible with HN clones as there are no YC apis. They should build reddit clone. I have build reddit clone https://reddit.premii.com/ using their official APIs.

thekingshorseson Is this a better Hacknews UI?

I am the author of the this. Would you mind sharing a stylish script or screenshot. Love to see how it looks after your changes.

thekingshorseson Is this a better Hacknews UI?

You can change the default orange accent color to any color. its under settings > appearance.

YC will always be faster than 3rd party app, as 3rd party relies on firebase API. Firebase API is very slow.

thekingshorseson Is this a better Hacknews UI?

Thats my app.

* you can change the accent color and there is a night theme

* Web version doesn't have a login option

* You can download iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows mobile and desktop version from https://hn.premii.com/about/ . You can login, upvote, downvote, reply etc.

Web version uses YC firebase api, and it is usually slow.

Downloadable version scraps YC site, and its generally faster.

thekingshorseson Is this a better Hacknews UI?

Its build for mobile.

No login option as there is no API. But you can download from the app store (ios, android, mac, windows), and it has login option. https://hn.premii.com/about/

thekingshorseson Is this a better Hacknews UI?

Settings > options > appearance > change font size and family and colors.

I would totally use this but its missing ajax.

thekingshorseson I switched to Android after 7 years of iOS

Website is just HTML, CSS, JS. Web is open, so other people developed different frameworks for their needs. It seems that goal of the web is to reach as many users as possible without relying on any 1 technology/company.

thekingshorseson I switched to Android after 7 years of iOS

If YC provides API like reddit, you can build really good client using web technology. https://hackerwebapp.com/ is best you could do without good APIs.

This is my reddit client. https://reddit.premii.com/ - You can login, upvote, reply, save, and tons of other things.
