Show HN: A Hacker News-like web system written in Go, works without JavaScript

3 points

a year ago

I started this project primarily because I was interested in the mechanism of ranking content based on votes, like Hacker News uses. Also, I was looking to try building something new with Go, so I decided to give it a shot.

During development, I set the following principles for the project:

- Keep the pages as simple and intuitive as possible.

- Ensure it functions correctly even when JavaScript is disabled in the browser.

- Implement full server-side rendering.

- Use semantic HTML tags whenever possible for better SEO and accessibility.

This is my first Go project, and more accurately, my first backend project. Although I have years of experience in web front-end development, I hadn't delved much into the backend side. This project greatly satisfied my curiosity and allowed me to learn many new things. While my understanding might still be superficial in some areas, overall, I managed to complete it and get it running live.
