I use a mobile browser (Atomic) which has great support for tabs- therefore I liked icombinator because it would by default open artcle links in a new tab. Is there a way that you could have an option stored in a cookie that would determine whether or not to open those links in a new tab? Very excited that you are working on this project and nice work so far!

That sounds very doable. I'll eventually have a settings page to set those kinds of options. Thanks for using it!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This will be my #1 priority.

Great! One other piece of feedback. There needs to be more contrast between the meta line (points/name/etc) and the text of the comments.

Done! Ask HN questions now work. You can also get to the "Ask HN" and "New" questions by clicking the link in the header. I'll work on the contrast problem. I noticed it too, I'm just a horrible designer.

Yes, HN could really need a mobile version. Also, is there some official API? Could people write mobile apps based on HN?

The official API is to scrape the HTML

that's no API. It's subject to change whenever they wish.
