Side note:

Simon Halvdansson runs "Harmonic", an Android client for Hacker News, I am using it daily for 2+ years and I sincerely recommend it.

I even asked him a feature (mark a story as read), and he implemented it shortly after.

Shout-out to you Simon!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm interested in what part of the design is limiting your app to macOS 14?

not the design per se (however you are right that theres a lot of swiftui usage here that is only available on newer macos’) but mainly because it is using the new @Observable observation macro that is only available on macOS 14+

Thanks for the info! I'm tracking so far behind the Swift "state of the art" in my apps. But, if it ain't broke...

Opening the app and getting a new sparkle update dialog everytime is getting very annoying…especially for updates that are relatively minor. just today its gone from 1.1.3 -> 1.1.4 -> 1.1.5 -> 1.1.6 -> 1.1.7 -> 1.1.8 -> 1.1.9 -> 1.2 -> 1.2.2 (skipped 1.2.1?) in under 5 hours. A lot of these could wait until theyre put in a relatively bigger release!

Hi there, are you not able to just uncheck “Automaticly check for updates” in settings?

I already have, but I wish I didn't have to...I don't see a reason for updates to be this granular especially when the only release notes are the diffs and the commit messages in between tags.

I understand "shipping at the speed of inference", but it makes the people who opt into updates more like testers on a "nightly" release cycle. At that point, I'd call it a nightly.

Yeah I get it, I mean to implement a better release system moving forward, allowing users to only choose large releases if they want, and include release notes. For now i’ve been focused on meaningful quick improvemnts until the app feels more finished.

No No. Don’t do that, don’t make it better and easy to use. I’m already addicted and spent more time than I should. Now, this app that I can keep it open all day! Btw, can you allow me to set the font-family, font-size, etc. for the interface? I can’t even do the default `CMD + +` to zoom in.

Just pushed an update allowing users to adjust text size

Brilliant. Another suggestion then; `CMD + ,` is the default shortcut to fire the Settings of any macOS app. You need to bind the default native OS Keybaord shortcuts to the App.

Found another must-have.

Mark as Un/Read, manually and auto after I clicked and read.

Ok. Look at NetNewsWire. Start by copying the key features. That is what you are building, but for HN. https://netnewswire.com
