Elmish HackerNews

This is a simple Fable application which enables you to browse Hackernews stories. It was implemented when completing an excercise in Elmish Book.

The app uses HackerNews API and retrieves 4 different types of stories:

• new
• top
• best
• jobs

Stories are loaded lazily - you can retrieve 10 more stories to be displayed with a button at the bottom of the page.

Building and running the app

First of all, start with installing the project's npm dependencies

npm install

Once this is finished, you can then build and compile the project:

npm run build

You can start developing the application in watch mode using the webpack development server:

npm start

After the first compilation is finished, navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your browser to see the application.

VS Code

If you happen to use Visual Studio Code, simply hitting F5 will start the development watch mode for you and opens your default browser navigating to http://localhost:8080.
