Live version: https://insin.github.io/react-hn

## Features

* Supports display of all item types:

  [stories](https://insin.github.io/react-hn/#/story/8863),

  [jobs](https://insin.github.io/react-hn/#/job/8426937),

  [polls](https://insin.github.io/react-hn/#/poll/126809) and

  [comments](https://insin.github.io/react-hn/#/comment/8054455)

* Basic [user profiles](https://insin.github.io/react-hn/#/user/patio11)

* Collapsible comment threads, with child counts

* "Realtime" updates (free via Firebase!)

* Last visit details for stories are cached in `localStorage`

* New comments are highlighted:

  * Comments since your last visit to an item

  * New comments which load while you're reading an item

  * New comments in collapsed threads

* Automatic or manual collapsing of comment threads which don't contain any new

  comments

* Manual highlighting of the X most recent comments to catch up on threads you were reading elsewhere

* Stories with new comments are marked on list pages

* Stories can be marked as read to remove highighting from new comments

* "comments" sections driven by the Changed Items API

* Story listing pages are cached in `sessionStorage` for quick back button usage

  and pagination in the same session

* Configurable settings:

  * auto collapse - automatically collapse comment threads without new comments

    on page load

  * show reply links - show "reply" links to Hacker News

  * show dead - show items flagged as dead

  * show deleted - show comments flagged as deleted in threads

* Delayed comment detection - so tense! Who will it be? What will they say?
