Dear Hackers,

Here comes HackerNews for iPad:

http://itunes.apple.com/app/hackernews-for-ipad/id364899977?mt=8

If you have an iPad, this should help you to read HackerNews more enjoyable!

It is very simple, and it got rejected at the beginning because of that.

Looks interesting, I technically check HN via my Headliner (an RSS app).

Does this just do HN or other RSS too? I did not see a link to a website for more information.

looks nice! What would be the added-value comparing to a "normal" RSS reader? E.g. why should I spent $0.99 for it?

The added-value for now is the Article/Comments tab on the top right, which auto load comments page when you view the article.

It's the way how I read the hackernews, spend more time on comments than the articles themselves.

Thanks and look forward to hearing your experience on it.

It is built for HN only . It had two tabs for you to switch between articles and comments easily.

I am adding some detail info on my website for it:

Spam-following people on twitter to promote your app: bad idea. I reported you as a spammer.
