Thanks! As of now I don't have any plans for Android. It's a native iOS app written in Swift, so that would require building a new app from the ground up.

I made a HN client that allows you to explore comments in a breadth-first manner. Compared to the classic depth-first approach, it works much better for the larger threads - you do…

I started Syntorial recently and the way it trains you to replicate the patch configuration and to hear the difference feels really natural, unlike a lot of other courses. Are ther…

Thread structure won't be altered, new comments will be marked like here https://github.com/devandsev/HackerNews-Support/wiki/Guide#a... and you'll be able to iterate over them. Di…

Thanks! > I can't tell what the hashtag button is for It's demonstrated in the guide [1] I have to think about how to explain the feature in the app without overwhelming the user. …

Thanks! I wanted to read comments in a breadth-first manner, and I knew from the start that using Apple navigation solutions wouldn't work for me, the visual change on the screen b…

That's how my app handles customizations - they just get resetted once in a while, but you can use them without paying, Premium just makes them permanent. I wonder if it's not obvi…

Do you have more info on the max comment depth by any chance? I did a quick search and, unless the info is outdated, it looks like there's some kind of anti-flamewar mechanism in p…

That's an interesting UX problem. Have you tried Anchors ("#" buttons)? Do you feel like it would be convenient if there was an option to mark all new posts as anchors? You could j…

Good idea, will do.

Thanks! Under the "Sign In" button you can tap "Alternative method", it opens a webview and you can auto-fill you credentials from the keychain. It's a few more taps, because you h…

> I feel you should be able to tap a comment to expand, rather than just swipe One frustration that I had with existing apps is collapsing a subtree by accident when tapping the up…

Added another link. Video preview is the same as on the App Store page.

Thanks! I want to perfect the experience on iPhones first, but iPad version is definitely in my backlog.

I'll think about a better approach of monetizing the app. I always struggle when trying to choose what should be behind an in-app purchase. In this case I just picked the least res…

I was struggling with navigating HN discussions using existing solutions, so I decided to implement a completely different approach, think of it as depth-first reading vs breadth-f…

The app uses an alternative way of displaying Hacker News comment tree. Advantages over traditional interfaces: - You always see the parent of the comment you're currently reading …

Great job! Really enjoyed asking questions about Hitchcock. When technology is there, it can be integrated with a speech engine so that we could get the answers in his own voice.
