I wanted to share a small project I built called Hacker5News. It’s a simple web app using Axum that fetches and displays just the top 5 stories from Hacker News.

I made this because, between work and studying, I rarely have time to keep up with all the news and discussions. Seeing hundreds of new posts every day can be overwhelming, so I wanted a way to quickly catch up on the most important stories without the anxiety of missing out.

The app is open source and super easy to run. It opens in your browser and shows a clean, distraction-free list of the current top 5 articles.

Would love any feedback or suggestions! Thanks for checking it out.
