Show HN: Yet another Hacker News client
Hi there everybody, I have been working on this Hacker News client recently and just want to share it here and hopefully gather some feedbacks!, thanks!
GitHub link: https://github.com/Livinglist/Hacki?test
- anosidium 4y agoNice app. What network client are you using for user authentication, upvote, reply etc.?
- take_it_not 4y agohi there, I assume you are talking about library I’m using? I’m using Dio for it.
- anosidium 4y agoI've looked up Dio library and it appears to be a general-purpose network client. What I was asking is did you write your own solution to interact Hacker News website for user authentication, upvoting, downvoting etc.? Or are you using a third-party solution that does it for you?
- godfuker 4y agoLooks nice, is it native? Clickable: https://github.com/Livinglist/Hacki https://github.com/Livinglist/Hacki
- Seirdy 4y agoNo, it's not native; it looks like it uses Flutter, which implements its own UI behavior. IMO, flutter feels even less native than web apps. At least the latter uses system font rendering, supports system-set color palettes (an option in Firefox prefs), supports system preferred keybinds for text editing, system scrollbars, etc.
- take_it_not 4y agototally understand, another thing I don't like about Flutter is that it cannot use the system's selection menu when you select text in textfield. All it supports is copy/paste...
- godfuker 4y agoThat’s not too good
- russellendicott 4y agoInstalled. Very smooth, no bugs. I guess the only way to reply to comments is in browser?
- take_it_not 4y agoyou can slide right on comment tile to reply! also slide left to see all the parents without scrolling all the way up.
- u2077 4y agoLooks great! Is there any way to see the comments on a new article without it opening the link first?
- take_it_not 4y agoHi there, you can turn it off in the app settings!
- Morthor 4y agoNice to see a Flutter app!
- take_it_not 4y agoFlutter Brother
- Morthor 4y agoOne comment. When scrolling to load more articles, it gets "stuck". The experience isn't very fluid. I would suggest pre-loading more articles.
- take_it_not 4y agothx for suggestion!
- kebsup 4y agoNice! A few notes: - sometimes i like to go to the link/other times straight to the comments - settings was very hard to find - the top bar padding feels off - i like to click on comment to collapse it, if i don't care about its replies - Back button should work for changing categories - maybe flutter 3?
- take_it_not 4y agohi there! thanks for feedbacks!
- ales1 4y agoneat!
