Is this news-yc Iphone app in anyways different from the one I have installed as far as the features go? Just curious...
Also the ronnieroller Android app gets installed in phone harddrive instead of sdcard. Though it only takes uo 200KB, I cant move it for some reason, I dont really like that. There are other apps for HN on android market which I need to check.
People are complaining about $5? Really? Someone has put months of effort into this app, more than justifying the "high" price. If you think it's too expensive, just don't buy it. I just bought it and think it's great (nice icon too).

I just want to make as much as people want to give me, with other ways to get it if I don't. (Again, though, I'm new to this:…
I wonder: would Apple allow you to submit a few different copies of the app, with different prices?
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…
Bug report: sometimes the pull-down refresh element is overlain on the headlines. Not sure what could be causing it.
