Why does the 'App Website' link take me to a prelaunch/landing page for something completely different?
I thought paid advertisements on this site didn't allow a comment section? Besides, I thought the whole point of the crappy site design was so that it would scare of people who either need eye can't or can't configure a browser to make it look different.
Seems like a fan of this Windows 8 app posted this.
i'd love to app a Chrome app like this one.

Not specifically http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html but do agree - don't think it needs a upvote.
What's wrong with that ?
Come on, give the guy a break and enjoy his good work.
EDIT: I don't know why I was thinking about windows mobile, my bad.
This should be open source and free.
I hope it is not buggy, but nice one!
Dev Here: It should be bug free! Always looking for ways to improve though. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
1) You probably shouldn't use the same bar to split the article and comments that Windows uses to resize pinned applications. This makes it look resizable when it's not.
2) Sometimes my mouse's scroll wheel stops scrolling. I think this has something to do with the ad reloading. I don't know if you have any control over that, but I found it annoying. I think the ad is stealing focus.
3) The ad on the main page stays on top of the Settings flyout (Win+I -> Settings)
4) Right-clicking on the article side (the web control) causes the appbar to fly in and then immediately disappear. The article also flickers. This does not repro when right-clicking on the comment side.
Most of these are ad related, so maybe that's my cue to buy it... Otherwise, great app! I like it.
US $ 1.49 to access Hacker News content through an app?! This should be open source and free.
Looks great from the screenshot, I'll have to try this out later. The description doesn't state whether you can comment, post or vote from the app - I take it that's not possible?
This is something we will have in soon though!
