How?

This app is powered by MetaMate. For the client to obtain all the data it needs, it simply sends the following query, and MetaMate aggregates the requested data under the hood

let rsp = await p.client.GetPosts({
  serviceFilter: {
    id: {
      value: {
        is: "hackernews",
      }
    }
  },
  mode: {
    search: {
      term: term,
    },
  },
});
