This hacker news app has most of the features I care about. Open graph previews, performance, and a very readable, dense, thread view. It’s also important to me that I can see the top comments before tapping the article. The only things on my wishlist are some sort of ad-free solution and better handling of screen orientation. This app locks to portrait all the time which is usually what I want. Directly supporting landscape videos would be ideal though. For that I need to switch to safari. You can do this with one tap but it would be ideal not to have to leave the app.

I want to preface this by saying that this is one of my most used apps. Thank you for making it, releasing it for free, AND not including any tracking bits. However, recently I’ve noticed an increased delay in loading times when selecting “Open HN link” . Not sure if it’s the app, the recent phone update that coincided with the delay, or something on HN’s end. It goes away if I try to reopen the same link moments later. Thanks again for the awesome app.

Hello, the app is awesome.But I need a feature of focus the words in comments so that I can translate by Apple dictionary. Because I am learning English, often find some words which I don’t understand.This feature maybe very helpful for the people like me and I think it will not be difficulty(I am a develop, too, but for web)Thank you !

So good! Use it on a daily basis! Love the feature of saving articles.Question. Is there a way to backup my saved posts? Either email them all to myself or upload to iCloud?? Last I want is to loose my favorite posts.
