We will look into the font changing, it will be on our list.
Thanks again!
It's great to see another app for HN that allows posting. I used to use Hacker News (YC) by Dharmesh Patel and was very happy with it but it is read only. I tried news:yc which claims to support posting but that never worked. I submitted a bug report but never heard back. I use MiniHack by Cai GuangShao for reading, voting and posting now. It works really well and I'm very happy with it. A while ago I reported a smal…
I have a small suggestion. I think the homepage copy would work better if you edited some of the clichés: "Make the app your own" and "Let Your Voice Be Heard" could be improved, for example.
Just downloaded, seems really polished and looks beautiful. I'm currently a user of http://hn.premii.com , I'd make the switch to your app if you can get the 'yesterday's best' page, and an option to have readability mode on by default. Very promising though, out of interest how long have you spent on the project?

To be honest, I didn't know you could collapse comments. Since there's not a way to "discover" it in the UI, I figured that it didn't exist. While I'm not sure of the implementation, I think it would be a benefit to the end users to show off that feature better in the UI.
How do you reply to comments? When I do it, (by tapping) I see various options, including "collapse to root". The swiping thing mentioned by one of my sibling comments was new to me, though. Handy.

You're on Minihack right? This is what mine[0] looks like. [0] http://i.imgur.com/Tgaa1ep.jpg?1
But from the full comment feed for a post, I have options for upvote, reply, profile, and collapse to root.

From my profile -> comments page, yes, and that's a regression -- it used to include a link back to the post's full comments feed. But from the full comment feed for a post, I have options for upvote, reply, profile, and collapse to root.
Usually I don't reply or comment to HN on my phone, which is probably why I hadn't seen it before.

To be fair, swiping is fairly common in iOS apps. Mail and Reeder come to mind. When I try out a new app I usually test to see if UI elements support gestures like these. Showing some kind of button defeats the utility somewhat, and I think a help pane explaining available gestures would be a better solution. You could stick it in the preferences view.
As such, I wouldn't expect my users to know to swipe them. I do agree that a help pane would do the trick, but personally I would probably lean towards an AlienBlue type of indication that the "cell" is actionable (the triangle showing Compressed or Uncompressed, and a row of icons that appears when you tap the cell, instead of the popup from the bottom).
That said, a JazzHands[0] type tutorial would serve perfectly fine too!
