Please add proper support for discussion (Ask HN, etc) posts. This is my #1 annoyance of iCombinator. Too many taps and backs to view the question then view the thread.

This will be my #1 priority.

Great! One other piece of feedback. There needs to be more contrast between the meta line (points/name/etc) and the text of the comments.

Anything in particular you were thinking of? I'm not sure I quite get the feedback.

The OP discussion text is not in the same view as the comments. Otherwise, I love iCombinator!

I actually wish the main site stylesheet can be changed so that the white columns on left and right sides does not show up in mobile screen. This will save spaces, make the text bigger and make navigation/zooming easier on small screen.

For the front page or the comment pages?

Both.

Would love to see the text displayed inversely - whether in traditional terminal style (green text on black background) or something similar to arc90's readability style.

That should be doable with just CSS. I put on a "settings" page on my TODO list to do just that.

Sounds great. I'll be looking forward to the settings update which I assume will be accessible via a different url (versus user controlled setting)? I.e. toadjaw.com/hninverse Again, nice implementation and it's become my default as of now.

I use a mobile browser (Atomic) which has great support for tabs- therefore I liked icombinator because it would by default open artcle links in a new tab.

Is there a way that you could have an option stored in a cookie that would determine whether or not to open those links in a new tab?

Very excited that you are working on this project and nice work so far!
