Currently, on load of the page, it fires getStories(TOPSTORIES) and only loads the top endpoint. If a user browses to another navigation (e.g. Ask) and navigates away in the same tab and goes back in their browser, it'll default to Top. I think a cookie to store last navigation may help or changing behavior of getStories(), or using query strings.

On long comment threads and story lists, this would allow a user to scroll quickly to the top. Could also extend it to scroll to the top level comment in current comment thread.

May be as simple as attaching the click event to the story div. May also come in handy with #4 when that gets implemented. May also need some restructure in the creation of the story div.

Right now, only the first 50 stories are loaded per fetch. This is an arbitrary limit. I believe the API will load a max of 500, so ability to load the next 50 or so stories would help. Either by fetching all 500 and showing only 50, or fetch the next 50 and show them. May depend on the API.

See screenshot below.

Everything is sorta hacked together. Fetching a story and comment are essentially the same thing to the API, but the code in the app is nearly identical yet in separate functions. Needs cleanup for sure.

Comments on a story should be moved to new pages, rather than in-line with story lists. Should help with navigation issues.

Everyone loves a good dark theme. Seems to be the latest rage.

Story ids could be saved somewhere (local storage for now) and then saved stories and story comment thread could be saved for later.

If the submitter of a story replies to their own story, comments written by them should have an indication that they were written by them (like how Reddit does it).
