After speaking with @k00b I’m going to look at putting some engineering hours behind Stacker News.
Hey, nice to hear that this came out of your call with @k00b yesterday :)
I wasn't sure if I should chime in here or just let you do your thing for now, but I decided that I'm going to comment here and there and answer some questions to help you with getting started.
But overall, feel free to pick anything, I would say. That's also how I started with contributing to SN. Some things make more sense than others but it's probably more important that you work on something that you're interested in than picking the ticket that has the best ratio of "good first issue" and "high priority" - if that is even easy to measure.

Yes, any help getting to grips with the repo and architecture will push me in the right direction. Thanks for all the context - super useful. Probably the most useful.

Agreed. I put this up after I'd started going through the issues page to pick out things I liked the sound of. Thought it would be a good idea to get an idea of what the community wants and then pick a few from that as well. It's not going to be a formal thing yet but I'll make a todo list somewhere from the research I'm gathering here.
