Today, I am releasing a Hacker News (read only) frontend in Gemini space.
The data source is HN's api which gives JSON access to the stories, comments,
etc items stored in the firebase database.

Since you have to do one roundtrip query per comment level, it is not efficient to load the whole comment tree.
Therefore, I chose to show only the direct children of a comment in a Gemini page, requiring a user click to follow the thread.
