Okay, so I originally made this app for myself cause I didn't like the UI on other HN readers. In that vein, I probably didn't add some stuff that people would like in a HN client, so I want your opinions on what to include/remove/improve in v1.1 - don't hold back. I personally couldn't stand the design on the other similar apps and I want people to enjoy reading HN on their iPhones/iPods. And yes, there's an iPad ve…

I'd like to request for the ability to open links in comments. Thanks for creating this:)
It'll be in v1.1
Re: Show HN: News/YC - HN Reader for iOS
#171. Top orange bar is way too thick, especially since it stays fixed and does not "scroll away" after paging down. We don't all have iPhone5's.
2. I agree with others who have suggested making it somewhat easier to hit the "go to comments" and close story buttons.
3. Sharing! Would like to be able to copy link to clipboard, post to fb/twitter, send to instapaper/readability/pinboard/delicious and last but not least, email.
Looking forward to v1.1 !

#19- Hidden side menus are a great solution when you've got a lot of items to display, otherwise use a tab bar. I know sliding deck menus are stylish and all, but tab bars are always going to be faster to use if you have five or less options.
- I'm seeing a lot of sub-44pt controls here. Things like the 'go to comments' bar and some of the sidebar buttons are hard to hit due to their small size.
- The navigation bar here is far too prominent for something that displays such little information. You should really stick to a 44pt navigation bar with a title that actually adds context to what's being displayed.
Otherwise it's a nice looking app, congratulations on launching it!

#20- It's the closest Alien Blue:Reddit that I've seen for HN
- Opening web pages within the app is much more comfortable than the standard way of doing so, which is terrible in my opinion
Great work!
