"Progressive" HN client just ships JS without any server rendering..HN is exactly the kind of application that you would expect to work without any JS.

Yep, that's definitely the next thing I need to think about. I agree, this is something that needs to work with JS disabled.

Firstly, I love your app. This is kind of a nitpick, but on the desktop version, hovering over the menu options "new, show, ask, and jobs" makes the text bold and pushes the other text aside. It's a little weird. Perhaps work with a fixed width for each menu item so it doesn't push the other items.

Fixed

Working offline is cool but the app feels noticably slower than the plain html version for navigating between comments and main pages. Tested on Firefox and Chrome (Android)

Yeah I still think there's room for improvement, and I'll be looking into different ways to make it faster (server side rendering being one of them)

Is there a hacker news client which focuses more on typography. I use official hacker news site on Web. On a Retina Mac book Pro with 13-inch screen. I find the fonts too small. Also, one major issue is the line height. Even with browser zomming, the text lines seem to be too close together. I wonder if other hacker news members also find this problematic.

You might consider a browser extension like Stylebot which lets you bring your own custom CSS.

Sure thing. I also keep a collection of Hacker News clients on Pinboard.
