- I love to see an open source implementation.
I’ve been using [Octal](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/octal-for-hacker-news/id130888...) for a while now but it’s not open source.
Would you be opposed to a pull request adding login/posting support? I think the way it works in Octal is webview for login, snatching the cookies out of the webview, then using the same posting endpoints as the website with the cookie.
- I'm posting this from a test feature I'm working on for your app: HN login, comments, replies, edit, etc.
I've also filed some smaller PRs.

- Looks great!
It seems you’re nervous about getting permission to show what you made to the world from Apple.
May I suggest you encourage people who want to use the app to get their own subscription and build and install it themselves, or consider AltStore/SideStore. Or go via TestFlight with your own monetization built in.
No one should need permission to ship from a trillion dollar company.
- Looks great, do you plan on publishing to the AppStore?

- Well done. As a colour blind person (and iOS developer) I am thrilled anytime an app doesn’t rely on colour cues alone. I’ve used Hack and Octal but I am going to give your app a try.
- HN is quite nice inside a desktop browser, but mobile browsers are a different story altogether. But even there, it fares slightly better than old.reddit.com. So looks like I should dust off that xcode.
- I've been using Octal on iOS and https://github.com/IronsideXXVI/Hacker-News on Mac that was showcased here 4 months ago.
Got to give you kudos for the Accessibility enablement though - while some of it is baked-in support, it’s worth appreciating your work in whittling down whatever else can be supported.
Here is a comparison for the two on Mac, if you're interested. https://gq6o9uxicyzuw8es6qxe78bnml9wc3re.pastehtml.dev/#core
- Just starred it on github ;)
Looks very good !
- The information comes from HN; would there be a risk of copyright infringement if the product were listed on the App Store?
- One thing that would be useful in the readme is instructions on how to install the built app on a phone, for those of us who don’t do iOS development.
- Could not find the appstore link, is it published there?

- Looks great. Does it support pinch zoom like webpage hn does
- Any chance of HN getting angry about this, à la Reddit?
- i've been using hackfeed, it does the job.
make this available on testflight, this looks great, would love to daily drive it.
+1 for the accessibility features, great job!
