Chrome Extension - Replaces new tab with Hacker News
Ever wanted to find interesting content every time you open a new tab instead of the default screen?
Hacker News Tab allows you to browse the latest and greatest of HN right from the comfort of your home browser!
By default, HN Tab is set to show the latest trending stories from the YCombinator Hacker News site. The app is powered by the Angolia HN API and is inspired by Githunt.
Hacker News Tab doesn't require any setup. Here are the steps to install the extension:
-
Download or clone the repository.
-
Go into chrome://extensions/ and enable Developer Mode.
- Click 'Load unpacked extension...' and select the .zip file containing the extension.
- Make sure the extension is enabled.
That's it!
