Hacker News Client

A Hacker News client (PWA) using Jekyll and Alpine.js.

The client is live here.

Read my blog post on building the client.

Running locally

You need Ruby and Jekyll installed to run the project locally. Once you have them installed, open the terminal and run these commands:

git clone https://github.com/salaivv/hacker-news-alpine
cd hacker-news-alpine
bundle
bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

Then you can access the client in your browser at http://localhost:4000. Jekyll will build the site and output to the _site directory. The --livereload flag will make Jekyll regenerate sites as you edit them.

If you want to serve the client in you local network then you can run:

bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload --host=0.0.0.0

Then you can access the client from any device in your network by visiting http://{IP_TO_YOUR_MACHINE}:4000.
