ReadHNLater – A HN PWA with a “Read It Later” Feature

Just another HN PWA but with a "Read It Later" feature. https://brapifra.github.io/readhnlater-pwa/ - brapifra/readhnlater-pwa

ReadHNLater – A HN PWA with a “Read It Later” Feature launched on October 28, 2018 with 39 votes, #906 of 2,827 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 7 years on.

In plain words

ReadHNLater is a progressive web app for Hacker News that lets users save articles to read later. It pulls content from Hacker News and stores items for offline viewing, making it useful for people who want to catch up on stories at their own pace. The app works as a PWA, so it runs in browsers without requiring installation. It's designed for Hacker News readers who prefer managing their reading list asynchronously rather than browsing in real time.

    Hey HN, cofounder of Readwise here. We've been working on this cross-platform reader app for about 2 years, excited to finally share it in public beta. Probably the most notable thing that makes Reader unique is that it supports almost any content type you could want to save/read/highlight: * web pages * emails/newsletters * PDFs * ePubs * twitter threads * youtube videos (with transcripts) * RSS feeds With all of your knowledge content in one place, we built powerful reading and highlighting, as well as a bunch of novel triage/organization features, so you can actually…

    Hey HN! I'm excited to share a tool I've been working on - a native Hacker News reader built with Rust and egui. Here's a screenshot: https://github.com/haojiang99/hacker_news_reader/blob/main/s.... As a daily HN reader, I've always struggled with keeping track of interesting posts I want to read later. Browser tabs pile up, bookmarks get forgotten, and I lose track of what I've already read. I needed a way to: 1. Browse HN efficiently (across all sections - hot, new, show, ask, jobs, best) 2. Quickly mark posts as "todo" for later reading 3. Mark posts as…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
