This application tends to make it easier to navigate Hackernews by utilizing its public API. It provides a better UX and interativity courtesy its real-time searching and filtering capabilities, beautiful UI, and lazy-loading. Custom API was also incorporated for ease of accessibility, though POST requests require token-based authentication. Though it depends on hackernews API, all the available data are stored in a separate database and hosted on this platform thereby providing parallel storage and preventing a single source of failure. Hence more reliable.
