Why I like this so far: - 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!
Okay, a few thoughts on the design: - 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…
I'm hoping to add some more options into the nav later, like using an API that allows me to add logging in/upvoting posts and some more settings options (theme being one).
Again, thanks for the comments and criticism, it'll make this app better for the next release.

Also one more thing, 'There's no unintuitive buttons' seems like a weird statement to me. What's especially unintuitive about buttons?

Okay, so I originally made this app for myself cause I didn't like the UI on other HN readers.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…

Came by to say some of the same. I like side menu, its on a button and are options that need to up all the time. The comments 'mini nav bar' functionality could all be on the actual nav bar. 44 + x is too much real estate to constantly waste... you could have it disappear on scrolldown like safari does.
Would be nice if it could support iOS 5.1.1.
In China, downloaded this and it does not populate content. Just endlessly searches for it (spinning loading wheel).
