Hacked together an aggregator for "APPLY HN".Can sort by points, date and random. Maybe a little buggy. Do let me know here or on the site if you want anything to be improved.
Nice - one thing that would be nice is the description text under each title. Often the title doesn't really tell you too much about what the idea is about and you have to click on each title to read. I would love just one long list of all the titles and description that I could scan through.
Well that's disappointing (not at all on your part, but on the part of the current format), but completely understandable considering how freeform YC seems to have encouraged these applications to be.
Thanks a tonne! I am using the API provided by the awesome guys at Algolia at https://hn.algolia.com/api . They did all the hard work! My job was fairly easy :)
i'm not sure if this is just my problem with whatever plugins i have, but i can only get the site to load in firefox, but it's a total no-go in chrome, safari or even the safari tech preview. in safari and chrome, the xhrs to search_by_date on algolia never resolve (the webfonts never load in any browser cors-related).
Also not totally sure why the xhrs are marked as synchronous, but that causes all the browsers to complain in any case. rock on.
You are welcome! My only issue with that is its only been a couple of days and we already have around 180 posts. So that would mean A LOT of scrolling by the end of the month. Thoughts?
