Comment crash

It crashes every time I post a comment, but the comment does submit successfully so it does “work”.

Crashes on each comment and lacks support

I have been using this app for a few months. In general it’s a good app and most stories from HN can be read. Some stories, however, never load the comments. The app also seems to crash every time I try to submit a comment. Whether the comment actually posts is hit or miss. I made the mistake of writing out a 4-5 paragraph comment, only to have it crash and all the text disappear into the ether. My fault for not selecting all and copying before each comment attempt I suppose. Prior to submitting this review, I clicked on the “App support” link so I could report it to the app author, but it just returned a 404 from GitHub. So it seems like this is just a side project with little active development.

Great app with great defaults

Only thing I would like to see is being able to make posts and upvote comments.

I did turn off the open links in reader view since I can use the amazing article summary tool when I want a glimpse and open the full link when I want to see it all but I understand wanting to avoid possible adds etc
