If you don’t mind using an alternative front-end, I’ve built an open source one[0] that supports dark mode and some other things I was missing when using HN on larger screens 0. https://modernorange.io. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

I like it! I went a step further and made my own client[0] so that it’s easier to navigate on larger screens and mobile, but could not find a good solution to support logging in. An extension is a great middle ground. 0. https://modernorange.io. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

Nice! Felt the same way but took it a step further and designed a whole new front-end[0] so that it was easier to use on modern large format screens (and added some things like dark mode). 0. https://modernorange.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

The API is pretty nice to work with, I’ve used it to build an open source alternative HN client[0]. I do wish it would support login though, but you can’t have it all. 0. https://modernorange.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

If you are planning to build a client based on a different API/back end service Nuxt 3 with server routes will be enough. I recent built an open source Hacker News client with Nuxt 3 since I can rely on their back-end. Feel free to take a look at the source code. Source: almost 3 years ago

I think V [1] is what Go should’ve been. Simple, compiles fast, integrated language tooling, in fact quite similar to Go, but without all the dumb design decisions. Unlike Go, it has sum types, enums, immutable-by-default variables, option/result types, various other goodies and the syntax for for loops actually makes sense. It’s a shame that the compiler is quite buggy, but hopefully that’s going to improve. [1]... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Mantis is a type-safe web framework written in V that emphasizes explicit, magic-free code. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

For development, V offers both an interpreter and watch mode, combining the convenience of scripting languages with the type safety and performance of compiled languages. It even includes built-in channel-compatible concurrency - truly the best of both worlds. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

What is quite interesting (after looking at their documentation), is that V lang[1] has all that is mentioned: `?`[2], `or`[2], sum types[4], and can return multiple values[5].
