The description reads "A Hacker News lookalike written in Python/Django, powering https://news.python.sc https://news.python.sc", which is probably due to the two fields "Description" and "Website" right there at the top of the github repository (see screenshot:
)

I'd suggest only putting the link into the "Website" section and updating the Description to "A Hacker News lookalike written in Python/Django"

Hi there thanks for building and hosting the application. I've really enjoyed the content posted so far.

Would you be interested in adding progressive web app functionality to the site?

There is actually a Django package for this django-pwa. Please let me know your thoughts, I'd be happy to submit a pull request :)

Maybe for starters some client side caching of certain static files and the ability to add the page to home screen.

It would be lovely with dark mode. See, for example, https://css-tricks.com/dark-modes-with-css/.

Let me know if you'd like to have this feature. I'll add it using the urlize template tag.

Seems commented in the source, would be nice for parsing / automation (e.g. send email digest of top commented/voted links)

The text is somewhat hard to read on the background. Could you increase the contrast?

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21818220

It would be great to have more formatting options in posts. Maybe markdown could help for this.

ERROR: Cannot install -r requirements.txt (line 22), -r requirements.txt (line 3) and colorama<0.4 and >=0.3 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.
The conflict is caused by:
The user requested colorama<0.4 and >=0.3
awsebcli 3.15.3 depends on colorama<0.4.0 and >=0.3.9
docker-compose 1.23.2 depends on colorama<0.5 and >=0.4; sys_platform == "win32"

Isn't it a contradiction?

When browsing Pythonic News on the web I often see things like “1 comments”. Please take the trouble to use singular when there is only 1 item, and plural otherwise (0 or more than 1).

Attempted to register an account, but was brought to a Google Form.
Could it be possible if you could include some fake data or provide a fake login for visualization/tweaking?

The website https://news.python.sc/ is inaccessible: "504 Gateway Time-out".
I regret it as it was a really good working python news aggregator.
I hope it will come back.

There are several accessibility issues with the current site design, including:

• small fonts (#17, #18)
• low contrast (#19)
• using tables for layout
• lack of heading structure

A full analysis can be found here:

Let's improve these issues, so the Pythonic News is comfortable and accessible for people to read.

A 10px font is difficult to read on desktop. We can make PythonicNews easier on people's eyes by increasing the font size just a small amount :-)

When clicking the Pythonic News site title, the user is taken to /jobs rather than the front page.

Here are the steps I followed in ubuntu18 python3.6.8:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver

In hnclone/settings.py i changed:

ACCEPT_UNINVITED_REGISTRATIONS = True

When I hit register I see

Server Error (500)

I initially got 500 error, but it turns out to be database problem.

However, it seems that the length of the submitted url is limited, it will be cut off if it is too long. For example:

http://www.rfi.fr/cn/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD/20200212-%E4%B8%96%E5%8D%AB%E7%BB%84%E7%BB%87-%E5%8E%9F%E6%9C%AC%E6%9C%89%E6%9C%BA%E4%BC%9A%E9%98%B2%E6%AD%A2%E6%96%B0%E5%86%A0%E7%97%85%E6%AF%92%E5%90%91%E4%B8%96%E7%95%8C%E6%89%A9%E6%95%A3

Is there a way to increase the length limit to say 500?

A navigation should be added next to more at the bottom of the page . In this way users can easily switch from previous 30 to next 30 news. I would like to work on this feature.

Hi. If you're interested in updating the design away from the classic hackernews style and towards a more modern/accessible look, let me know. I'd love to contribute.
