This project was made to demonstrate the power of the functional CSS and proper HTML techniques on Hacker News frontpage.

This project was made to demonstrate the power of the functional CSS and proper HTML techniques on Hacker News frontpage. Everything started with this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20854214 that talks about how good is that HN wasn't redesigned since the OP was browsing it with slow connection. I though I could make HN even faster without changing the essence of the design too much. So I decided to re-do Hacker News using pure functional css (https://github.com/meerita/utilcss) and some tweaks to the code to increase the performance and test both performance gains in HN on a local server. Code, notes and results available here https://github.com/meerita/hnredone

Give it a try, features include: - Improved readability - Quick inline replies from comments page - Quick profiles with social network info when hovering over usernames - Filtering of stories based on terms and phrases / domain or user - Endless scrolling - Collapsible comment threads - Social sharing for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Buffer Forks, improvements and comments…
