Hello people!
Since I was finding Facebook browsing very boring and unproductive, I looked for something else more interesting and I found the trending section of Github.
I enjoyed using it a lot until I realized that Github Trending was showing no more than 25 results every day (and it's often the same from one day to another) and this is not enough to keep browsing and replace Facebook!
That is why I decided to build GitNews, to gather trending repositories from different sources, such as HackerNews, Reddit and Github (and more in the future), and provide an engaging infinite scrolling.
I also used this idea to learn NativeScript VueJS (an awesome framework by the way) - @igor_randj amazing job thanks - and here you can find how: https://medium.com/learning-lab/...
GitNews is not perfect so all the feedbacks are welcome to improve it 😉
This is really cool, I was thinking about something like this during my daily PH/HN/Reddit/GitHub tour! Any plan to make it available on browsers directly?
Thanks!
Hey guys!! congrats for the app! it is really cool and even addictive! Also I am loving the cute logo ☺️ 😍
What are the next sources of repos you might include? How did you find it to develop it with NativeScript? I am mobile developer myself and at the end I always do double work and go full native for both OS
@patricia_mayo1 Thanks a lot!
As concern the next sources I was thinking about product hunt.
I think NativeScript Vue is very cool mostly because I can keep the component based architecture of VueJS and use the Vuex architecture. Then to build it for both OS is a bit more tricky because you need to be sure that one change will not mess in the other OS. Nevertheless NativeScript has a cloud deployement feature that let's you build for iOS without having a macbook and this is pretty amazing!
Really like the app!
It would be nice to have features like filtering by language, day, month and year.
Nice to see an app that is not trying to be a kitchen sink. Fun and fast download.
Very refreshing to not have an app ask for a login with more permissions and complicated long privacy policies before being able to see anything.
Not sure how other people use github stars, think i might star wayyy more than normal, but a button that could initiate that action when it is a github repo would be nice. I'de actually happily connect github account w/ access to star on behalf for that functionality. Honestly, if I were in your shoes I probably wouldn't add the feature unless tons more people asked. It's a lot of additions to a currently refreshingly streamlined app... so i guess i'm down-voting my own feature request?
**Interesting case for y'all to consider though:**
Lots of people talking about something for _bad reasons_ making its way into the feed without context.
Ran into a link to that scumbag `event-stream` node library which had gotten caught adding malicious code on my feed.
Would hate for someone to think it was being highlighted for good reasons and attempt to use it (in this case probably enough warning signs around.. but def an interesting challenge from something that actually popped into feed)
@ken_colton Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Yes it's true would be good to add stars directly for it but then it needs authentication. For now what I use is fasthub github client and I click on the open the repository button then I star through this app. So it's not the first priority but maybe one of the next (the first is fixing some bugs in the Readme preview, then the languages filter!)
If you could include filtering that would be awesome! First of all by language.
Love your "ask for feature" feature :) It's great to see somebody cares about user feedback.
@yan_sidyakin Ah! Missed the "Ask For Feature" feature. Also think it's great to have that be integrated. IMO it could be surfaced a bit more prominently... came back here to give some feedback and then while scrolling through to check if anyone already left same comment saw this :P thanks!
