Looks nice and i intended to download it. But $ 4,99 is a bit high for such a small app without the possibility to testdrive it.
I second this!

#12Here's a link to an open source implementation of this concept that allows you to browse the whole site including comments: http://www.guidefreitas.com/hacker-news-menu-tab-app I've been using this for a bit and it's pretty neat. Also not required to use the Mac App Store to install it.
I saw this before deciding to build my own... it's just a webview and is a lot slower than mine. My app is completely native with no webviews whatsoever. So faster and less memory intensive :)

Didn't see your comment before I posted below, this is on GH too https://github.com/MohawkApps/Hacker-Bar

#14This is a RubyMotion Mac app open sourced here https://github.com/MohawkApps/Hacker-Bar
This seems to be the same person. The seller in the app store is "Mohawk Apps, LLC" and the GitHub account is for "MohawkApps." I only point this out because there was an indignant reply here expressing outrage that someone stole an open source project and published it to the app store (that reply was deleted).

That reply was by me, and deleted maybe 30 seconds later after I realized my mistake. Also, I wouldn't have considered it as indignant as it was inquisitive.

Ha! Yep. That's me. Here's a blog post about why I open source all my apps and sell them too http://blog.markrickert.me/why-i-open-source-all-my-rubymoti...

Kind of reminds me of Alien Blue for Reddit. I hemmed and hawed about buying AB for some amount of money (I don't even remember how much it was) and now I can't live without it.
Can't say I've ever felt that way about a Mac app but I'm giving it a shot.

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this. I've been wanting to do a menubar app that uses Forecast.io's API but I have little to no experience with Obj-C so just having something to go off of will help me in learning.
