Ablayer hackernews example

This is a demonstration of how ablayer can be used to locally augment the functionality of an external site.

It features:

• A dark theme
• Tracks new/seen/read comments

When you run this example you'll be able to browse hackernews via http://localhost:9900.

How it works

We overwrite the external news.css with our local ./news.css

The new/seen/read functionality can be found inside ./abtest.js This file will be injected in the of html files that are served via ablayer. This allows us to inject our own functionality.
