hax's Issues

Create Safari web extension

Apollo and Tweetbot, both of which are sadly dead, had one that allowed users to open Reddit and Twitter links, respectively, through the apps.

Migrate to Xcode 14

Create widgets

They could show the first items of a specific feed.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/privacy_manifest_files

Use NavigationSplitView

The current navigation logic is deprecated, so it must be changed. It will set the foundation for the iPad and macOS versions.

Add Home Screen quick actions

Quick actions could be useful for quickly opening up a specific feed.

Improve networking layer

• Items with lots of comments take a lot of time to load, since up to hundreds of comment requests may be performed at first. A possible improvement would be to perform DFS in the tree of comments instead of fetching every reply to every comment of each page
• It would be great to move the networking code to a Swift package: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/organizing-your-code-with-local-packages

Item is not decoded if the URL is invalid

A few days ago the top stories wouldn't load because there was an item whose URL was invalid.

• Item: https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com/v0/item/32920235.json?print=pretty
• URL: https://www.betterbird.eu/##

Implement filters

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/activitykit/displaying-live-data-with-live-activities

Highlight comments made by OP

Create visionOS version

Use NavigationStack

NavigationSplitView is still not flexible enough for use.

Organize feeds

Create macOS version

Simplified URL is incorrect in some cases

For example, https://1.1.1.1 is simplified as 1.1 instead of 1.1.1.1. The following item has this URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16706113
