$100k/yr in the USA? I guess if you're in Silicon Valley...
Look into salaries very carefully. This is not high or unusual or only in Silicon Valley. It's important to know what's typical. salary.com is not terrible for this, also try glassdoor.com.
I've just happily paid for this app (congrats, nice app and makes my daily life easier/better) I am always amused when people complain about paying $5 for an app like this. Let's assume for a second that you are an IT/Internet professional, and you are read HN enough that you'd consider downloading an app. Maybe I am the exception, but I perhaps spend 30 mins per day on HN on my iphone.

Interesting thought - since this is released with a BSD style license [1], couldn't someone else theoretically submit it to the Apple store at a lower cost? 1: https://github.com/newsyc/newsyc/raw/HEAD/LICENSE
Here are some suggestions:
1. It would be great to have an option when opening an article to automatically apply Readability when it loads (maybe you can choose that option by long-touching the title of the article or something). This would reduce waiting time on reading the article.
2. An article queue would improve multitasking. If the user could select a bunch of articles and have them load in the background, that would be awesome.
3. A setting to show the full text of every comment in the list view of all comments. I don't want to have to click a comment to read it fully, and I don't have to do that on the HN website.
Good luck!
Just bought it. Checking it out. I want push notifications for replies, though :). Premium feature? Could make something to poll myself but I'm cool with spending a few monies for it.
Or even just an extra tab to see replies within the app would be much appreciated.

Cheers. A tweetie-esque HN app is a great idea. I'll gladly put down $5 to help keep a promising high-schooler motivated and building cool stuff. Shame on you guys for trying to pressure him to change his price. And I like you're approach of "well it's $5 in the app store but here's the source if you want to build it, fork it, and/or install it yourself for free." Jason Fried would be proud of your pricing (ha!). Kee…
