#2Hi, I am the author of this tutorial and I would like to mention that while working on it I realised that a proper Hacker News reader would be an interesting project to work on and I might decide to go for it if enough people are interested.
Would you use it on your desktop computer (Linux, OS X and/or Windows)?
If yes, which features would you like to see in the first version?

a desktop client could offer more features and potentially a better navigation.
That's just my vision though, that's why I am asking if other people would be interested in something like that.

I doubt this would matter to anyone. No way this needs to be a desktop app.

To learn something new?

#8Any idea's worthwhile as a personal learning project. From my perspective I wouldn't use it, simply because the web page is so efficient it even works great on my low powered windows phone.

The possibility to configure interesting topics and having the client check in the background if anything relevant pops up.
If it's open source I could try to add the feature myself.
