The best of Hacker News, grouped per day. You'll never miss the top HN articles while at the same time removing the need to check it every five minutes.
@harianus Thanks for the kind words! It means a lot to me, especially coming from the creator of SimpleAnalytics!
I have been a big fan of SimpleAnalytics since the start and I use it for HackerDaily as well. I tried to make HackerDaily as open as possible and so the statistics are also open to anyone: https://simpleanalytics.com/hack...
Hi everyone!
I am studying Energy Science, but during my free time I am learning how to program. This summer I wanted to learn some new technologies, in particular Postgres, Hasura and Tailwind. To learn these technologies in a fun way I built HackerDaily. It’s a way to read Hacker News in a more informative and less addictive way.
I love Hacker News, the problem is that, like all social platforms, it easily becomes a slot machine. Every time you look there is a new post or comment!
HackerDaily is built to alleviate this problem as well as a few others:
📅 The posts are grouped per day, starting from yesterday. So you never miss that one great article, video, or paper!
📖 The articles are readable on the site itself. No more loading of multi-MB webpages just to read a simple article.
💬 It has an improved collapsing comment system
😍 Beautiful typography (based on @adamwathan awesome typography work!)
📱 It’s a PWA, so you can install it to your homescreen and use it as an app
🌗 It has a dark mode
⌨️ It's open source (https://hackerdaily.io/opensource)
I would love to hear what you think about it! I have class today, but I'll try to answer any questions. :)
This would get a reccomendation if it was only fixing HN's unreasonable font size. As it is, the extra benefit of once daily updates make it much less addictive and more useful :)
The only minor downside is that it is basically a content scraper, so if you're in the internet 1%, you need to switch over to actual HN to comment or save stuff.
@rafael_milcic Hi Rafael,
Thanks for your feedback! The standard Hacker News font size is indeed way too small. :p
I don't exactly understand what you mean with the 'internet 1%'? But if you want to comment on a comment you can just click on the time of the comment to go get redirected to that specific comment on Hacker News.
