Is there a way for me to make it default to view the "Comments" tab of the story first (instead of trying to load the story from the source)? I sometimes judge a story by its comments first.
EDIT: just pushed this. Check for updates via the Application menu or by restarting the app.
I wrote Hackernews for Mac. Feel free to ask me questions :) EDIT: Quick shout out to Grant Paul who built the fantastic newsyc app for iOS ( http://newsyc.me ) which this is partly based on and inspired from.
I really like the app so far. A few feature ideas - adding a preference to load the story or comments first. That might fit in a bit better with some people's workflows of looking at the comments first. Also - I found myself wanting some "read/unread" feature of the story column. I'd love to know if I've already seen a story or not. Keep up the good work. I assume you plan to sell this on the App Store?
Seeing the comments first is a popular request so Ill try todo that one soon.
Grant Paul (of the newsyc iOS app) and I were discussing making all the read/unread state work via iCloud so the iOS and Mac apps sync up nicely but we haven't agreed on it just yet.
Yes, I am planning to sell this on the AppStore when its in a state I'm happy with. I'm thinking of making it free and make Readability/Instapaper/etc functionality an In App Purchace.

Very nice work. Clean, simple UI and I love how you managed the article vs comments views.
I use hckrnews.com and its Google Chrome extension to keep track of comments, and it's insanely great.
