Why? I don't wear an Apple watch but I do wear a smartwatch, and I can't imagine a reason to want this website on it.

So you can read Hacker News on your watch. I find myself doing this randomly when I don’t have access to my phone (believe it or not, it happens for legit reasons) through something called ųBrowser. It’s probably masochistic but it works in a pinch. I’ve been thinking of writing my own watch app to do this, as well as an app that could use the Feedbin API.

I might use the word 'compulsive,' but you would know better than I.

On another subject, you should email hn@ycombinator.com to get your account un-shadowbanned. That generally also is a better, or at least less in-band, way to raise concerns like the presence of obvious spam. Otherwise, the risk is that you'll get caught up in an imperfectly selective mass mod action to deal with a bunch of spam burners, as appears to have occurred a couple weeks ago.

You're confusing this website with your e-mail inbox again. The post was made intended for the general public, not a message written personally for you.

"You're," and I think you meant to remove one of "made intended."

Why it is always: minimal, lightweight, singlefile etc... I want to see full-featured for a change!

Minimal is sense minimal size of UI for small form factor like Apple Watch, but its already has a lot of features like feed selection, bookmarks, comments, article links, links support etc.

There is no published version on the AppStore yet, right? Gotta bookmark that so I can build it later - looks nice!

Created the app yesterday, adding more features and will publish hopefully soon.

Very cool, please do!
