apollo-client-devtools VS hacker-news-pro

This call creates canonical field allTodos on the root Query type. We can confirm this by opening apollo devtools and viewing the 'cache' tab.

People don't understand how their code can mess up others in unexpected ways. A few weeks ago my youtube just stopped working. Turns out, a change made to the apollo-graphql extension caused window.process to be readonly and youtube's code was not expecting that: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client-devtools/issu...

I know this isn't a dependency issue, but it's a great example of why things like semver don't work perfectly in practice. It's hard to figure out what the effects of your code really are in the end. You might assume a change is minor when it really is major. I wish programming languages could figure out what the version change should be for a given code change.

Do you perhaps use chrome and have apollo client dev tools installed? They break import maps, which breaks the site, see here: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client-devtools/issues/464

It's so weird that this seems like a common use case but across the 3 channels I've asked (also asked on the official Apollo Spectrum chat & SO) it's radio silence beyond your reply! To add insult to injury, Apollo devtools was updated over the weekend and broke for v2 clients! Argh!!

Here's another extension you may be interested in[0]. It allows total customization if you don't mind writing a bit of HTML, though it ships with some decent defaults. It's also not 1:1 feature complete with HN but it suits my needs just fine.

I had the same question and made a browser extension that addresses many of the complaints in this thread (poorly-positioned elements, sizing, dark mode): https://github.com/dan-lovelace/hacker-news-pro. It lets you completely rebuild the layout however you'd like and has some pre-made themes that do a decent job without writing one from scratch.

Hi HN!

I’ve spent the last few weeks writing a browser extension that lets users write their own HN themes using Handlebars and CSS. It works by converting the current Hacker News page’s content into an object that is made available to the user-defined Handlebars templates. There is a built-in code editor that makes writing themes super easy and you can see changes in real-time. If you don’t want to write a theme from scratch, there are premade themes available or you may import one made by somebody else.

It is shipped with Bootstrap so you can get pretty far without needing to write a lot of custom CSS. Material icons are also included so your themes get iconography out of the box. Any theme can be toggled into dark mode with a single click.

It is open-sourced under the MIT license so feel free to use any of the code in the linked repo[0]. Additionally, I’ve put together a short demo video on YouTube[1]. If you decide to check it out, let me know of any feedback and please share any themes you create! I’d be happy to answer any questions.
