Originally just a mashup of cheeaun's HackerWeb and wvl's hckr news. I've updated it so I can read Hacker News just the way I want to.

HckrWeb combines HackerWeb's elegant readability with hckerweb's chronological list of HN homepage items.

• Default news feed is from hckrnews.com (all items that have made the HN homepage, sorted by date).
• Direct "More..." links (no scrolling required) to dates as far back as June 9, 2010 (No hckernews data beyond this date!)
• The 'show' feed combines HN's show and shownew pages. (Removes "did I already read up to here?" confusion when "Show HN" items are in both lists.)
• The 'ask' feed shows the first two pages of Ask HN
• Displays last time you visited.
• Renders individual comment items. This is useful for sharing, or reading a child comment tree.
• "Pagedown" icon to scroll past items you've already seen. Tapping an item's icon scrolls it to the very top. More precise and less finger movement!
• [dead] items show more info and link directly to news.ycominbinator.com for viewing (if logged in).

git clone https://github.com/Leftium/hckrweb
cd hckerweb/
npm install
npx grunt server

• grunt templates - Compile templates in templates/* to generate assets/js/templates.js

• grunt uglify - Concat and minify JavaScript files in assets/js/* to generate js/*

• grunt watch - Watch the templates and scripts, run templates and uglify tasks when they're changed

• grunt embedImage - Embed images into CSS files. This will parse CSS files in assets/css/* and change this (any lines with url()):

   background-image: url(PATH); /* embedImages:url(PATH) */
  

  ... into this:

   background-image: url(data:DATAURI); /* embedImages:url(PATH) */
  

• grunt connect - Run a local dev server. Arguments:

  • --port=XX - specify a custom port number

• grunt server - Run both watch and connect tasks at the same time
