NewsNook

NewsNook : a web app that lists and links news headlines from Hacker News

Motivation

I (sometimes) like reading Hacker News, but I wanted to:

• filter out keywords I didn't want to see
• posts from a certain date to another certain date
• read it in a layout that had more "whitespace"

...so I built this "wrapper" app!

Features

• home page that shows the latest articles
• "omni search page" that allows filtering by
  • keyword
  • vote count threshold
  • date
• "configuration page" that uses cookies to save a user's:
  • home page "quick topic filter" menu
  • vote count threshold
• dark mode

Frameworks

• Front-end:
  • next.js
  • tailwind
• Back-end:
  • Hacker News API

Demo

• run the demo on newsnook.joncoded.com
  • also mirrored on newsnook.vercel.app
