Bug report: when you close the window of the app and then click the dock icon, the window never re-appears (you have to quit / re-open).

Thanks mate. Working on getting a update out that fixes that :)

EDIT: Just rolled out a fix. You can check for Updates in the Application menu.

Looks great! I will definitely use it in the future, and would pay for it. One thing I noticed though is that when you close the window by hitting the red circle in the top left, the app stays in the icon try but clicking the still active icon does not reopen the window.

Thank you! Working on making the window come back when the dock icon is clicked now :)

This is fantastic, I like it. Though, I'd love the option to configure the stories selected in the left pane to open to comments first rather than the story. I usually browse HN in this way. It allows me to get peoples' opinion of the piece before hopping in and investing a bunch of time reading what might end up as blogspam, etc.

I wrote Hackernews for Mac. Feel free to ask me questions :) EDIT: Quick shout out to Grant Paul who built the fantastic newsyc app for iOS ( http://newsyc.me ) which this is partly based on and inspired from.

Why does it not support anything lower than Mountain Lion?

Uses the Sharing Service APIs that were introduced in ML. Ill work on some way to roll out a different version for =< 10.7 users.

That sounds easy enough to implement. I wanted to enforce Stories first because a lot of people on HN don't read the full story before they comment.

Did you try the CMD+1/CMD+2 shortcuts for switching between the Story and Comments?
