Earlier quoted context omitted.

What could make such an app "stand out"?

Should be free first of all, HN is free after all and with it's old tech it is still working well and is also friction free. I've seen plenty of show HN:HN and most don't have traction because the original is just too good. It's probably one reason why it withstood the test of time and why we still have a community here.

Congrats on the launch.

I built a similar app with search functionality and bookmarking some time back

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/h-for-hacker-news/id6744145932

This was primarily built as a way to learn building apps. I went for a style similar to the website and tapping the comment closes the parent comment.

Feature suggestion, a persistent saved word filter for stories, especially on days when the frontpage is mostly politics or AI. Currently using https://isit.mooo.com for daily usage and http://hnapp.com for advanced search.

You can checkout h for hacker news. It has a search API over algolia.
