Hijacking Hacker News with Ember.js
summary
Builds a Chrome extension that takes over Hacker News pages, fetches live HTML, runs an HTML→JSON parser in the browser, and feeds Ember Data so the app renders without a backend. Implements a custom location adapter to preserve Hacker News URL mappings and a localStorage adapter so preferences sync across tabs; demo shows submissions and synchronized sliders live on multiple tabs, and the approach works in practice.
