Very informative. The app itself is minimalistic. Love it.
Hey devs the nytimes website browsed from your app loads but after a few secs it gives a blank screen
Is there a plan to add search? These days searching HN is a good way to cut through noise and online BS ... Or does it violate your minimalist design principles?
Hasn't been updated for Android 10
HN look and feel. Login but can't comment. Only upvote. Old app
can you let us change background color to white?
Seems to be a pretty informative app, and its got tons of topics that I'm interested in. A little lack luster on the design side, but i get it, it's an informative app, not a game that's supposed to keep you captivated due to all the graphics.
Efficient and doesn't get in the way. Clean, logical interface. And best of all .. it's opensource. Speaks volumes about the coding chops of the app author ! Thanks Manuel Maly.
Login issues fixed. Thanks.
Definitely the best HN reader. Clean UI and fully featured.
Great simple interface, and fast!
works well but incredibly dated ui
Clean, simple, and easy on the eyes.
Simple but works great.
I use it every day
I really love this app with its ability to collapse comment trees and its good layout for mobile. But right now it is not showing the button needed to see the comments. Edit: Problem was fixed after three days. So add "very responsive developer" to list of advantages. Thanks!
No bs. Its got a perfect interface. I've been using it for years.
Fast, easy to use, and doesn't try to replace your existing reading apps. It properly sends original URLs via sharing to other apps (e.g. Instapaper) and is lightweight enough to quickly knock off a few stories to read in short order. Perfect!
I really like this app, its very stable and easy to use. I would love it if you could add a feature to expose the search from the HN site so I could filter stories based on topics I'm particularly interested in.
Which unfortunately includes "cannot post comments". 5 stars with that added.
It would be great if google mobile view can be word wrapped and all.. but apart from that very solid
Never used it for 25hours yet produced 20% battery use!
Thanks for the no b.s. version.
Article loading time is much higher than expected. Also, it lacks several basic functionalities and features.
Minimalist beyond the point of Frustration. The app is so limited in what it can do that it hurts the overall experience. You can't comment, only get a small view of HN, can't see what you voted on, interface is slow to respond. It is a very meh app in a fussy not friendly sort of way.
