A Hacker News client (PWA) using Alpine.js and Jekyll.
Alpine is one of those tools that when you look at it, you cannot pass by without adoring its design and simplicity.
Modern web-development space is so concentrated with frameworks/libraries like React, Angular, Vue, etc. so much so that they have become the default when it comes to building any website or application regardless of whether they are a good fit for the use case at hand.
I wanted to give Alpine a try by building a simple web application but I didn't want to build a yet another todo app. So, I decided to build a client for Hacker News instead.
Haven't tried it yet. It looks interesting, but it's definitely not as simple as Alpine is; it comes with loads of functionality. Will give it a try sometime.
