Why does the bottom share button not bring up the full share menu? Also, for share by email please auto populate the subject line. Other than that it looks pretty good so far.
The app looks great, though have a few comments: * It doesn't feel like HackersNews. I think you should follow some of the elements from the web app (Orange colour, HN logo etc) * I wasn't comfortable providing login credentials. How are you handling login / storing my details? * I'd like to see more posts per page. Feels harder to scan read the posts than on the current HN site * Filter in top right looks like a loc…
In the next version (1.1) coming in about a week we are going to include: -Clear upvotes and comments number from the main feed -Quick access to comments from the main feed -Quick upvoting for posts from the main feed -Switch to auto-delete posts viewed and only show them in the "Viewed" tab -Collapse comments -LogIn improvements -Commenting and posting bug corrected -Follow users to receive push notifications when they post something
Version 1.2 (some more weeks): -Dynamic text: adjust text size as you want -Different fonts: we will add in addition to the current Avenir, Open Sans, Proxima Nova and Helvetica Neue
Stay tuned for more updates! As we said, Boreal is a client build from users FOR users.
Nice work guys. I really like the UI. Till now I was using - https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/hacker-news-yc/id713733435?m... for using Hacker News on my iPhone. This too is a great application for using HN, however its design is more orthodox. Great Work :)
Have you tried MiniHack? I think it will provide a better comparison.
I for one welcome the lack of HN colours, although the orange might look nice as a secondary/accent colour used sparingly. The grey is lovely.
I'll keep using the app and look forward to the update coming shortly.
Well done.
PS. There's a typo on the error posting modal dialogue box - says "tu" rather than "to". (There was an error trying tu publish your comment....)
I've been getting this error a lot, so I went to the web site to post this.

Very much a newbie here (first comment in fact!) and am trying to break into iOS App development myself so it's nice to see you guys doing well!
Love the app, great design. My only "gripe" if you can call it that is how slow some of the animations are. For example the view sliding up from the bottom after tapping the action button is smooth but (to me at least) feels like it's lagging somewhat.
Either way looking forward to the next update!
Btw, if you want and you think Boreal deserves it, support us by buying our "Black Hat Hacker Plan" that lets you read unlimited news (simply go to Settings > Store > Boreal Store).
Enjoy! :)
