Materialistic Android App. Unfortunately it is not anymore in the Google Play Store. It's the best hackernews android app in my opinion. What android app do you use?

Materialistic became buggy for me in terms of UI elements arbitrarily switching to different themes (pixel 5a). I switched to Harmonic and have been very happy with it.

You can find it in F-Droid[1], it still has the old version though. And it is not in active development.

I follow the twitter feed, rarely click on anything but see topics go by and semi-remember them for later (or I sometimes open up the site right-away).

2-3 times a day I go to the site on a desktop browser. Scroll through the first 2-3 pages (logged in, standard view) and open a tab for the story and discussion. Work though these gradually.

Occasionally I open the site on my phone but find a pain to use it that way (and I'm not logged in).

If the F-Droid version is the old version, the new one must be incredible!

Web.

On desktop, I use my own custom CSS hacks to restyle the site:
