This has been a play project for a little while, trying to build an interface that's comfortable to read on any device. It's a bit of a mashup of a Pocket-like interface, digital newspaper and Hacker News.

I like the ui, it's pretty easy to read.

This is a really nice project. I would like to know your thought process while building this project, and how you got people to engage with it?

It takes the article from the link and takes the comments from HN and puts them together.

I’m happy with Octal, but this looks neat enough that I’ll give it a try.

This looks amazing, great job sir. There is only one thing that I miss from your frontend on HN - show more to get older articles.

Love it. Bookmarked. A simple font selector (mono, serif, sans) would be awesome.
