It's very quick! Already uninstalled my old app, as it would try to reload every link while on the subway.

#12Nice one. A few feedbacks:
1. Nice touch open sourcing the credential handling code. Obviously there is no way for an end user to actually verify that the code posted is indeed what ships but it adds to your credibility. I wish more apps would extend that small effort!
2. The mobile landing page is better than most “serious business” app mobile landing pages. I would totally hire you to do just that for my apps if my budget was more than $0.
3. Is there a way to comment from within the app?
4. Maybe add active to the filter drop down in addition to show, ask, and jobs? HN has some hidden filters like “active” which are very useful.

#14For the curious, The J. Caesar quote "L xvh wklv dss hyhubgdb, dqg L oryh lw!" can be decoded with the following command:
echo 'L xvh wklv dss hyhubgdb, dqg L oryh lw!' | tr '[D-ZA-Cd-za-c]' '[A-Za-z]'

#15How come you're not charging for this?
I really enjoyed building this and I'd rather share that with everyone than turn it into a business.
I may turn it into a donationware in the future if it gets attention and takes time to maintain.

1. Btw, I'm counting on/hoping for other devs to review this part of the code and make it more trustworthy. I don't think I can do anything more to guarantee that's the actual shipped code?
2. Thanks a lot
3. Not yet. I'm planning on implementing that in an upcoming version
4. I'm going to look into that!
Thank you very much for your feedback!

#20Have you considered making an iPad version?
Just tried it out on mine and it wasn’t pretty.
