Good work!

I use both the iPad and iPhone so ideally I’m looking for a native client that caters to both these platforms and that would allow me to log in with my account to comment. There’s many Hacker News clients out there but few that meet these two requirements.

I’m currently using MiniHack... not an ideal solution but one that covers both my primary needs.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you, keep in mind Metalens is only for iPhones at the moment. iPad support is a bit lower on the priority list right now, I think it will be ready in 2 months or so.

Can I ask why you have placed so much emphasis on analytics? To me Hacker News is too frontage-driven already.

It’s a byproduct of the time travel feature, Its already there so why not display it?
