i'm using it here https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/... it works on Chrome/Chrome for Android, but Brave requires a flag (brave://flags/#file-system-access-api), and i don't think Brave for Android supports it

My "Pith" programming language didn't make the cut https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32681150 Webpage using Pith instead of JavaScript to fetch HN Polls using the HN Search API https://gabrielsroka.github.io/hnpolls_pith.html Source https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...

i had the same thought: https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...

I like some of it, but: 1. it's really slow. 2. it made 30 requests to load 2 comments, including fetching the same url 5 times. 3. you call the APIs in serial, but you can (should) do it in parallel. 4. you're using async=false on `xmlhttp.open("GET", filePath, false);`. this is a bad practice. also, consider using `fetch` which is a more modern API. 5. you can omit `?print=pretty` and the fetch will be smaller, probably parse faster, etc. 6. the back button doesn't work compare my version (which does much less, but does it faster) https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/... and https://gabrielsroka.github.io/hn.html?small

I wrote my own client ⁰ using the official HN API ¹ ⁰ https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/... ¹ https://github.com/HackerNews/API

I wrote a JS one years ago. It still seems to work but it might need some more throttling. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34110624 Edit: I see I added a sleep on line 83 a few years ago. Edit 2: I just fixed a big bug, I'm not sure if it was there before. Edit 3: I wrote a Python one, too, but I haven't tested it and it most likely needs to be throttled. It's also not currently authenticated so only useful for certain pages unless you add authentication. https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...

I am knowledgeable about both. Unix guy at heart but used to work for MSFT on windows. The Windows version of mprotect(2) is VirtualProtect. It would probably make more sense to allocate the buffer with VirtualAlloc with the correct flags, rather than modify a stack buffer. The Unix version of that would be to allocate with mmap(2).

What a coincidence. I recently converted the 6502 version to Python and then worked with ChatGPT to convert the Python to C. (I'm not a C programmer.) https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/tree/...

Replit has a mobile app. Also, I wrote a simple web page where I can run JavaScript or a Python-like language I created called Pith. https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...

I made a super cheesy version of BASIC you can run in a browser. It just does a search and replace from BASIC to JavaScript. https://gabrielsroka.github.io/webpages/BASIC.html Src https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...

I wrote a JavaScript tool to search your HN favorites and export them to CSV or HTML. The JavaScript runs in your browser like a browser extension. It scrapes the HTML and navigates from page to page. Setup and usage instructions are in the file.

In Chrome, open Settings > Accessibility and set the text scaling to a larger number. I use 130% just because of Hacker News. I also wrote my own client using the API https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/... We've asked for UI improvements and dark mode for a long time. I don't think they're ever going to happen.

You're welcome. Here's an actual web page: https://gabrielsroka.github.io/hnsearch.html And here is the source: https://github.com/gabrielsroka/gabrielsroka.github.io/blob/...
