What Hacker News says
6 sourcesyou can contribute back to this project. Will be on github https://github.com/valentinvieriu/visual-hacker-news
In Show HN: Read Hacker News Like Pinterest – Built with VuejsThank you for the feedback. Noted down the feedback. I agree with you regarding the extra information. I will probably make it on hover.
The title might be necessary, because it's not always visible in the screenshot.
Regarding the refresh topic i want to have it for the people that want to keep the tab open, and always get the new news, but would be a good idea to have it optional.
If you wan to contribute, you can use the https://github.com/valentinvieriu/visual-hacker-news ( still old version there )
Thank you
In Show HN: Read Hacker News Like Pinterest – Built with VuejsHi,
I'm the author of this project. The code will be available soon on github: at https://github.com/valentinvieriu/visual-hacker-news - right now that's the old version using Angularjs
The project uses as a starting point the amazing Vuejs Implementation from https://github.com/vuejs/vue-hackernews-2.0 . It has super fast server side rendering, that's why the feedback is imediate as you load the page.
The thumbnails are generated using phantomjs server. I'm using https://github.com/blockai/phantom-pool to make sure the phantomjs instance is reused. This improves the speed of the screenshots quite well.

I'll post the code on https://github.com/valentinvieriu/vue-hackernews-2.0, but n

Thank you for the interest! I'll do my best to reply to all questions if there is interest on this project.
I agree, you should build your own. It's quite fun!
I've shared the code on https://github.com/valentinvieriu/visual-hacker-news please feel free to fork it. It's free.
The hard part is the caching. I suggest using http://cloudflare.com as a free solution
