Features

• Supports display of:
• Stories
• Jobs
• User profiles
• Items load with almost half the bandwidth than Hacker News thanks to this [awesome API]
• Completely responsive UI that provides a native feel regardless of which device you use

If you would like to know how I built this app, I wrote a blog post explaining each and every step.

Areas of improvement

• Support for polls
• Realtime updating

Feel free to send me feedback on twitter or file an issue! Feature requests are always welcome.

Build process

• Clone or download the repo
• If you don't have Angular CLI installed: npm install -g angular-cli@latest
• ng init
• Input n for each file to not overwrite any file changes
• ng serve
• ng serve --prod will kick off a production build with uglifying and tree-shaking

This will kick off the server at http://localhost:4200/. Any changes you do to the source files should automatically reload the app.
