Show HN: YCombinato – A domain-hacked "Hacker News" client Hi HN, This is a little "HN Reader" experiment I made using a domain hack of "news.ycombinato.com" <- notice the "r" is missing . Basically, I thought it would be cool to make a "clone" of the "Hacker News" URL so you can quickly navigate to "YCombinato" from any post on "news.ycombinator" by just dropping the r in the domain. The benefit is a few extra features like; sorting, searching etc... Unfortunately I realized it's essentially a phishing attack :( according to the browser, which means there will probably be a warning message on most browsers... but it's still usable and hopefully people find it enjoyable. There's so many "Hacker News" clients now that it's almost equivalent to the TODO app for web developers. This project does take it pretty far by replicating the URL, so if moderators are unhappy with it, please let me know It's a static site using the [1] algolia API, but I tried hard to make it fast and snappy. It's fully [2] open-source and hosted on github too. Anyway, thought I'd share it, let me know what you think!
