Context

Build a Hacker News like App but for lightning talk polling.

Sorry no mock here, please make a simple and beautiful page that get the job done. We don't mind whether it looks as great as Hacker News.

User Story

  1. User opens the page and could see a list of lighting talks order by rating submitted by other users;
  2. If there's no lighting talk, simply put a placeholder text and encourage user to submit their own talks;
  3. The user could vote for the lighting talk by clicking the vote button or icon;
  4. After voting the user will get an updated version of the lighting talk list(order by rating);
  5. User could always submit a lighting talk with title, description, and username;
  6. The user could see his lighting talk on the list after submitting;

What We Care About

Feel free to use any libraries you would use if this were a real production App, but remember we're interested in your code & the way you solve the problem, not how well you can use a particular library.

We're interested in your method and how you approach the problem just as much as we're interested in the end result.

Here's what you should aim for:

  • Good use of current HTML, CSS, and JavaScript & performance best practices.
  • Solid testing approach.
  • Extensible code.
