Basic/Classic Hacker News app, used as a Cocoa & Swift learning platform

⚠️ Warning

The code leaves a lot to be desired (I am only working on this from time to time and am still learning), as does the git history.

🔨 Building

This project consists in a workspace and two projects, App and HackerNewsAPI. As their names suggest, the first is a good old AppKit macOS application, and the second is a framework where all interactions with the official HN API are handled.

There are two prerequisites for running the app:

• You need to set up your own Firebase project and provide the corresponding GoogleService-Info.plist file by placing it in the App/Resources directory. The DATABASE_URL key should however always be set to the official HN API URL, i.e. https://hacker-news.firebaseio.com.

• Dependencies are managed through Cocoapods; You must execute pod install in the project directory in order to retrieve them, once you have cloned it.

📝 TODO

• user preferences
• fix comment folding
• fix code blocks layout
• comment row height cache
• proper networking
• user login & voting
• polls
• proper toolbar
• propert search, using https://hn.algolia.com
• more icons?

... And many more.
