About this site

This is a simple Hacker News clone, built with SvelteKit, an application framework for Svelte.

Svelte is a new kind of framework, one that compiles your component templates into fast, compact JavaScript — either client-side or server-side. You can read more about the design and philosophy in the introductory tutorial.

We're using a combination of the Firebase HN API and the Algolia HN API as a backend. The app is hosted on Vercel.
