We created QuoteDark.com so that users can explore more than 500k quotes in a streaming Quote-Engine we custom developed. Users can swim through the world of quotes by clicking on tags and authors in Quote Engine with Play/Pause/Next/Previous controls.

Pages are divided between Author, tag and quote page along with related quote. Each page have their own context of quotes.

Our goal is to bring world of quotes that are hidden in the dark in an intuituve way. Hence QuoteDark - bringing quotes out of the dark.

Please hacker news users, feedback/criticism/suggestions are more than welcome.

Pretty cool, but I can't make it scroll with space bar, up/down arrows, or page-up/page-down. Hacker News seems to scroll fine. (Firefox Nightly)

Hi, yes the frontend technology is react-native such is a mobile app framework and dynamic height based on length of quotes and number of quotes etc. Unfortunately that would mean losing some functionality like keyboard shortcuts etc.,

I’ll need to research if there’s a workaround for that.
