I built a Hacker News reader inspired by the ideas of Brutalist Web Design, the open web, Cyberpunk Aesthetics, and glitch art.
It’s all written in Vanilla JavaScript in one index.html file without any libraries. It supports theming with 3rd party themes and you can make your own themes in the site too.
It’s also a PWA, so it can be downloaded as an app on most devices.
I would love some feedback on implementation, design, etc. from HN users! I still need to test a lot more on mobile so that would be helpful too.
