Will this only work on ye actual reddit.com, or can you point it at a private install?

$1.99? I've spent more on worse on the iPhone. Sold.

I'd gladly pay 2x that for a well-made HN iPhone app. Any takers?

Does HN have an API, or would it have to be scraped?

The 280 Norths (the same people who made iReddit) are making one. I suggested they charge $5 because they won't sell as many. Arguably it's worth it, because having fewer users is part of what makes HN good.

You should qt-faststart that .mov so it starts playing immediately!

Available in ffmpeg: http://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk/tools/qt-faststart.c?vi...

There are native versions for OS X and Adobe AIR out there.

LOL. Can I quote you as a testimonial on our iPhone page? http://reddit.com/iphone

'LOLs' (and related cats) are fine on reddit, but not on here =).

Any place where we can find dev details on that?

I couldn't find any mention of it at: http://280north.com/
