HN-Go

Description

Hn-go is an Proxy API to ingest and clean data from HackerNews created by ycombinator

• I built this project to have a more accessible API for HN
• This project ingests and creates a local cache of http response data from HN's firebase API.
• Using this code structure, I focused on cleaning up the responses to be friendlier for clients to parse with minimal fetching.
• Learned concepts: Chunked API responses, local caching structures
