Stacker News

Unofficial cross-platform Stacker News app written in Flutter.

I started this project as a Hacker News app in the begining of 2020 to learn the Bloc pattern. I still maintain the HN app but I’m now focusing on Stacker News.

The code is really hacky and fragile but it works. I’ll be slowly refactoring the code to make it more robust and easier to work maintain.
