This would get a reccomendation if it was only fixing HN's unreasonable font size. As it is, the extra benefit of once daily updates make it much less addictive and more useful :) The only minor downside is that it is basically a content scraper, so if you're in the internet 1%, you need to switch over to actual HN to comment or save stuff.

@rafael_milcic Hi Rafael, Thanks for your feedback! The standard Hacker News font size is indeed way too small. :p I don't exactly understand what you mean with the 'internet 1%'? But if you want to comment on a comment you can just click on the time of the comment to go get redirected to that specific comment on Hacker News.

Hi everyone! I am studying Energy Science, but during my free time I am learning how to program. This summer I wanted to learn some new technologies, in particular Postgres, Hasura and Tailwind. To learn these technologies in a fun way I built HackerDaily. It’s a way to read Hacker News in a more informative and less addictive way. I love Hacker News, the problem is that, like all social platforms, it easily becomes a slot machine. Every time you look there is a new post or comment! HackerDaily is built to alleviate this problem as well as a few others: 📅 The posts are grouped per day, starting from yesterday. So you never miss that one great article, video, or paper! 📖 The articles are readable on the site itself. No more loading of multi-MB webpages just to read a simple article. 💬 It has an improved collapsing comment system 😍 Beautiful typography (based on @adamwathan awesome typography work!) 📱 It’s a PWA, so you can install it to your homescreen and use it as an app 🌗 It has a dark mode ⌨️ It's open source (https://hackerdaily.io/opensource) I would love to hear what you think about it! I have class today, but I'll try to answer any questions. :)

@harianus Thanks for the kind words! It means a lot to me, especially coming from the creator of SimpleAnalytics! I have been a big fan of SimpleAnalytics since the start and I use it for HackerDaily as well. I tried to make HackerDaily as open as possible and so the statistics are also open to anyone: https://simpleanalytics.com/hack...
