> Download the latest build for your platform from releases. Cool !! Oh.. Mac only right now.
Not particularly directed at OP, I haven't tried or even downloaded the app. But am I the only one that when I see 'Node' and 'Desktop' in a headline immediately think 'this may be really nice but it is just gonna be to big for what it does'? And, as a followup, what is the appeal of using Node for desktop dev?

The advantages would include shared tooling, a cross-platform GUI, and the ability for end-users to modify the code. Regarding size, it appears to be around 100 MB, so you could have 20971 separate installations of it before filling up a 2 TB drive. Memory usage could be an issue, but whether that matters will depend on your audience the app. In this case, the aim is toward HN, so it doesn't seem like an issue.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why should you? Okay, don't. If OP gave you free beer would you spit it out over him and say it's too bitter?
That's a pretty bad metaphor. I am refusing OP's free beer, because I don't drink beer. I also question the need of giving away free alcohol. Instead, I take the free glass of water from the next guy.

Ugh provide high quality screenshots, both on project readme in github and on the website as well. Currently the website has skewed image of the thing and then cropped round images of the thing.
That's a pretty cool idea... but do people really want more HN? My impression is that most people want to read it once or twice a day, but are driven to it more often than that as attempts at procrastination. So this seems like it'd be a net loss for most users.
This looks interesting but the first thing I noticed was that the 'H' in your logo isn't centred and it hurts my brain.
