I like this new client! Good work. It's refreshing to see an HN client with a 2014 era UI. I also love that it's Open Source. Couple of items of feedback for you. #1 Please make the top off-white colour bar go away; it's jarring on an otherwise all-white background. The most tasteful looking iOS 7 / 8 era apps I enjoy are the ones that make the iOS info bar blend with the rest of the screen real estate. #2 Once insid…

Hi, thanks for your feedback.

#1 Do you mean the status bar? I could easily remove it, but don't you like to know what time it is? Removing the status bar could be an option in settings in the next release. #2 I will give this suggestion a thought. Now you can go back to the previous view by swiping right. So theoretically the back arrow could be hidden too.

If anyone else is looking for a better iOS client (native or not), I'm using HackerWeb ( http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb ). It's pretty nice, and ironically feels more native than the native apps I've tried. Here's a bookmarklet to open the current HN page in HackerWeb: javascript:var%20a=/%5B0-9%5D+/.exec(location.href);var%20n=a%5Ba.length-1%5D;location.href='http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/%23/item/'+n

Seconded - it's great on tablets.

Heh - yes - the status bar. I don't mind it being there, in fact it should be. But on my iPhone 5 it renders in some shade of eggshell when the rest of the interface is white. In my humble opinion, it should be the same colour as the rest of the UI.

Its ready, but update will remove upvoting. So trying to figure out how to keep upvoting with the new API.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.dwak.holoha... Shameless plug :D This is using cheeaun's wrapper, which was just recently switched to the new api. Additionally, I'm writing my own wrapper as well, and will be migrating to it eventually. I didn't want to use closed source code in the application which is why I didn't include the Firebase SDK, and which is why I need to use a wrapper around the api.

Installed. Nice done! :-)
