Hi HN! I built a lightweight Hacker News reader using Next.js 16 and the official Firebase API.

Key features:

Save posts to Favorites Mark for Read Later Clean, fast UI with no distractions Self-hosted user data via Pocketbase (login required for saving) It’s a personal project, but I’ve open-sourced it and would love your feedback, suggestions, or even PRs!

Live demo: https://hn-pb-next.mystack.host GitHub: https://github.com/lavren1974/HN-PB-Next

I kept losing interesting threads in the HN firehose—this is my attempt to fix that. Hope it’s useful to others too!
