If you do, please make it configurable to be a normal app as well as a menu bar app. I don't like menu bar apps that do not actually need to display some sort of persistent notification or control, and there may be others who feel the same way. Also, we generally shy from "yes" and "love it" type replies here; you can probably assume that 1 upvote = 1 yes.
Looks nice but I don't think I would ever use something like this. 70% of the time I'm on a browser so I prefer to just come to the website. A good app for iPad would be good since tapping the tiny HN links on there is terrible.
I'm a bit tired of tapping between browser screens and always going into HN. I'm too much of an addict for those extra steps :-).
I just think it a tad redundant since browsers/website are pretty much native...
I think a great feature would be the ability to filter articles by points (i.e. only posts greater than 100 points, etc)
Do you often wish that you could do that on HN?

I don't think you're going to get many nays on here, we like HN and that app looks slick. I just think it a tad redundant since browsers/website are pretty much native...
Think the app could be really nice though and save me some time when I feed my HN addiction. I always find myself opening 5-7 tabs each time I go into HN. Then I have to navigate between them, close the ones I haven't read and such. Can become tedious.
With this app, I'll also have a constant overview of how much of the frontpage I haven't read :-).

Thanks for the input. I'll definitely consider that. Shouldn't be too hard.

There's a decent iPhone/iPad app called news:yc in the App Store already.
Not too pretty though :-).
