Hekla for Hacker News with React Native and TypeScript

I really, really, really like Apollo, a beautiful and elegant Reddit client for iOS. I liked it so much that I wished there was a Hacker News client that had the same UI layout, a set of features and customizability.

I’ve been working on and maintaining a React Native starter kit for Ueno for the past year, so I wanted to see how quickly I was able to use the kit to create my own Apollo-like client, just for Hacker News.

This is the result, 4 weekends later, an iOS and Android app using all the latest and greatest for React Native.
