A Hacker News clone in Clojure

hsnews's Issues

Slow like a banshee

Looks like it is loading super slowly, on a heroku instance that needs to spin up or what?

post with link "www.weathernao.com" redirects to the wrong page

I created a post with the link www.weathernao.com (my new super cool and simplistic weather app!), but the link generated by HSN is http://news.hackerschool.com/www.weathernao.com (which leads to a 404 page).

Validate submitted URLs

I think this could go either way, but it might be nice to do some basic validation on urls or automatically add "http://" or at least warn users when they are about to submit a relative link (if you think that will be a common thing).

Host URL cannot be nil

the URL that causes the error: http://localhost:3000/sessions/create

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Host URL cannot be nil

Vim keyboard shortcuts

I want j and k to move between stories on the front page and return to view it.

Links in comments should be clickable

Add [link, parent, story_name] to each comment in /newcomments

Something like:
username | time elapsed | link | parent | story_name
akin to HN's /newcomments view: http://news.ycombinator.com/newcomments

HSN API

I've already got some fun ideas for things to do with the API, and I imagine others do as well.

Nested Comment Support

Comments should be nested, like hacker news.

Edit Posts/Comments

This might be two feature requests, but I don't want to open that many issues at once.

It would be great if you could edit Post titles/URLs and Comment text.

Self Posts

Self posts are one of the best features of HN.
