Been using Harmonic daily for a few years now and I love it so much, it's an incredibly well made app. Thanks for making it, awesome that it's open source now as well!

I usually refrain from installing apps from Aurora Store instead of F-Droid, but Harmonic is the one app for which I oblige. Thanks a lot for open-sourcing it. I wait for the day, where I can finally get a good HN client at F-Droid :)

Hey there Simon, thanks for writing this great app. Although you said that you wouldn't call the architecture of the app a beauty, I think the UI really stands out as a pretty app that provides only the features that are really needed without delving into anything unnecessary. Really well done and congratulations on the OSS release.

Another daily Harmonic user of a few years standing here. I tried a good few HN clients until I clicked with Harmonic and never looked back. I find it to be one of those rare apps that works so well and unobtrusively that you hardly notice it until it dawns on you how good it is. Great work, thanks for making and open-sourcing it!
