Post Description

I built lazy-hn to make Hacker News feel a lot faster and lighter.

It runs on Cloudflare Workers or as a Bun server in Docker, and it's designed to reduce the sluggishness of the default HN experience while keeping the familiar layout and flow.

Try it here: https://hn.tin-sever.de Source on GitHub: https://github.com/tinsever/lazy-hn

I'd love feedback on whether it actually feels faster in practice. :)
