# Hacker News Widget

> Technical guide and code examples on Hacker News Widget (javascript, linux) by Hemanth HM. Practical notes and code examples.

##  After [yql-yui-and-jquery](http://h3manth.com/content/yql-yui-and-jquery) I tried to make a widget using the same killer combo.

##  **Hacker news widget** _Displays top ten news from the front page of hacker news_ **Ingredients:** 0\. YQL rest url for the data. 1\. jQuery for getjson(). 2\. YUI css's for looks. **How it looks?** Check the demo [HERE](http://www.h3manth.com/sites/files/HN-Widget.html) **What next?** 0\. Get the code from [here](http://github.com/hemanth/futhark/raw/master/HN-Widget.html) 1\. Improvise it :) Like an android app? 2\. Share better methods.
