PWA - Micro Mithril Hacker News Clone

HackerNews clone built with Micro, Mithril v1.1.1 and Pure Material.

This is a minimal and direct development. No fancy stuff. There is much that could be improved on it.

Mithril is a small but powerful framework and can be used for large projects, however, Pure Material is still in alpha state and I don't recommend it for its use in production.
