#84I have been using this for a while on my Nokia WP 8. It works great and is really fast. Thank you for the effort.

#85This is the first website I've ever added to my home screen on iOS, and I was completely unaware that by doing so, I could view the site as if it was a full screen app, not having to deal with the safari interface. I was completely unaware of that, and can now really see the utility in adding web apps to the home screen Also, this is great. Really a solid interface. EDIT: I would honestly like to see this scale on de…
I worked on a similar app [1] and it runs as a standalone web app on the iOS homescreen as well. A couple of things that I love about it: 1. I've done away with a lot of the features the OP has - such as comments (unless it's Ask HN), time of post and link. This has made it more lightweight and faster to load on slow mobile networks in my area. 2. Also, it's only updated twice a day since I actually built this for my…
This is cool. Finding myself spending too much time on HN, I'm looking to write something similar myself with the purpose of making a weekly digest of only the top stories.
Looks like a few [1][2] have already made the efforts to write filtering based on karma score.
Edit: The OP's app is very close to what I want, but instead of limiting to top 10, use a point threshold directly.

#87Am I the only person using hnsearch to find content on HN? It seems no app developer bothers to implement a search feature in the hacker news apps.
Anyway, this is a great app, thank you.

Following your recommendation, I did the same, and I really enjoy it. The interface addresses many (all?) of my typical annoyances with the otherwise great news:yc app. * it swaps between comments and articles quickly * nice, unobtrusive indenting for threads * holy cow folding comments! * pleasant styling I haven't figured out how to comment, but I'more of a lurker, so that's fine (it'll keep me from making a fool o…
Actually, I could be wrong, but I think the load time is coming from the fact that the developer had to move the application over to S3 in order to deal with the heavy load with this being on the front page, and with S3 not supporting gzip, it's causing a bit of a delay. Once it's loaded, however, the app is very fast in switching between pages and comments.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably open source it at some point. Right now, the components are somewhat tightly coupled.

#90I wrote this client. Never submitted to HN, because I wasn't sure if anyone will like it. After it reached to the FP, my vps server stop responding. So I moved it to S3. S3 doesn't gzip content. Now it takes twice the time to load the app. Thanks EtienneK for submitting to HN. Also forgot to mention that you can download an android app from play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn
I serve some gzipped content off of S3, you just have to do the zip yourself before uploading, which is pretty straight forward using most scripting languages.
