Long time Hacker News lurker, first time Hacker News poster : )
I built a Hacker News reader app with NextJS and TailwindCSS that pulls item and user data from the hacker news api (https://github.com/HackerNews/API).
This is my first time really building and launching something for users so I'd love any and all feedback. The roughest spots at the moment are the threading of comments and the fetching of posts on a user's page (lots of individual calls (async) for individual items rather than getting them in bulk from an endpoint like /v0/beststories).
Let me know what parts of it are Not Good and where I can improve things!
* Design seems mobile centric and doesn't suit desktop.
* Threaded comments are very hard to read. HN's UI does a great job.
* No visual notification when clicking on links and moving between pages. I had the same problem with toolwallhq.com and used https://www.npmjs.com/package/nextjs-progressbar to solve it.
