vue-hackernews-3.0

HackerNews clone built with Vue 3.0 + vue-router + vuex.

Features

Note: in practice, it is unnecessary to code-split for an app of this size (where each async chunk is only a few kilobytes), nor is it optimal to extract an extra CSS file (which is only 1kb) -- they are used simply because this is a demo app showcasing all the supported features.

• Progressive Web App
  • App manifest
  • 100/100 Lighthouse score
• Single-file Vue Components
  • Hot-reload in development
  • CSS extraction for production
• Animation
  • Effects when switching route views
  • Real-time list updates with FLIP Animation

A Note on Performance

This demo uses the Firebase-based HN API to showcase real-time updates, but the Firebase API also comes with a larger bundle, more JavaScript to parse on the client, and doesn't offer an efficient way to batch-fetch pages of items, so it impacts performance quite a bit on a cold start or cache miss.
