I am planning to build native iOS up using some inspiration from this webapp (with proper credits, of course). I have ~8 HN readers on my iPhone at the moment, and event those who work (not all do), suck for some reason or other so I am using Lim's web app to read HN on my phone but I still want to have it as a native experience.
