HackerWeb - Hacker News client

It has a simple set of features that are usually invisible:

- Dual Web and Comments tabs for easy switching between the story’s web page and the list of comments

- Revolutionary comments thread UI for easy navigation, with smart collapsing to prevent being overwhelmed by too many comments

- Automatic Dark mode, respecting the system’s appearance settings.

- Smart indentations and formatting for comments, complementing the existing limited formatting from Hacker News.

- Automatic syntax highlighting for code blocks in comments, with best-effort programming language detection.

- Allow interactions like upvoting and replying, which opens up web view with login information and sessions stored in itself, instead of the app.

- Comment’s “Thread view” to list all parent comments of a comment, on a flat list, for easy reading instead of manually drilling down the nested comments.

- “Share as Image” for comments, which allows sharing of a specific comment, optionally including the parent comments and/or story, as an image.

HackerWeb is an unofficial Hacker News client, built with React Native and Expo.

This is a passion side project for learning and experimenting ideas. Since 2012.
