Excellent work! I really like the UI. I've been using some iOS app for HN because the UI offers easy and quick swipe-based upvotes and bookmarking. But your UI is more…

Haven’t tried it yet but the screen shot looks great. Clean, simple and not over engineered.

I love seeing more Mac-assed apps.

Very happy to see a "mac-assed" app! My only complaint so far is that I can only see about 12 items in the app on one screen, vs the whole front page in a browser. Adds a lot…

Nice! This looks great.

Hello, I’m the developer. Didn’t expect a Show HN post to go into a second—chance pool — I woke up an hour ago to find that my app was trending on HN. I developed this b.c. I…

Any chance for Mojave support? It currently requires Big Sur. Looks good on screenshots tho.

Unfortunately I’m not expecting to support anything lower than Big Sur. I tried supporting Catalina, and having to support an OS that I don’t use daily was hard… Sorry about…

Thanks for sharing this. It looks really great and pretty minimal which I personally love. The main thing I'm missing from this would be read/unread indicators on stories. A…

For me, right now, this is a hobby project — until now, the feature roadmap was basically the feature that I have in mind. I’m more than happy to get feature requests though —…

Does the Algolia hackernews api ( the specific API this client uses ) still require you to query in a tree like fashion, every comment item id if you want an entire page of…

Looks good but needs text zoom (cmd =/+ and cmd -). I'd also consider the sidebar include 'My Posts' and 'My Comments'. Maybe it has those, but I couldn't tell, as I turned off…

God I would love somebody to make one of these that could block specific users, linked sites, or topics/keywords.

Are you planning to charge for this in the future? Seems to be getting really high traction.

This is great! I built a native. macOS client that I actually sold in the AppStore a while ago. It did everything was native except rendering of the article but I was just using…

Agreed. Generally I prefer native apps, but HN is so well designed and so minimalist that I don't feel it needs a native client.

I'm the same way; I use multiple machines (and my phone!) every day so having synced Firefox tabs is ideal. Especially for something as simple as Hacker News a native client…

I use materialistic(on fdroid and gplay) because it gives me a phone home screen widget of top hn stories. https://f-droid.org/is/packages/io.github.hidroh.materialistic/

I've used that, Hews (also good but looks abandoned) and am now using Glider https://f-droid.org/packages/nl.viter.glider . It's very smooth

Look forward to trying it out, thanks! If you find yourself in a position of not wanting a specific website mixed in with your browser tabs again but not caring enough to make…

Unfortunately I don’t like Electron, and I did try out some solutions (e.g. Fluid[0]) that don’t use Electron, but it felt best to create a native Mac app with Cocoa. [0]:…

Wouldn’t Vienna with the RSS feed give you the same?
