vue-hn-clone

This app is a Vue.js-based clone of Hacker News.

Objective

It is helpful to have a go-to app for demoing new tools - this is mine. It's nice to have an app that is more than just a hello world, so I tried to create one that mirrors something usable to some degree.

Tech info

• Vue.js - The frontend web framework used to build the site
• HackerNews/API - Source of data
• Bulma (Specifically Buefy) - the CSS framework I've used

This app is far from an ideal architecture - it is currently all client-side rendered and re-pulls all data on page change. In the future I may add vuex so it doesn't query the API every single page change.

Ideally you would use server-side rendering like this example does (in fact, that app is all around better). But to make testing certain tools easier, being strictly client-side rendered is preferable.
