Nice Open Source project - HN Reader does what it says on the tin!
Well done to the developer. This is a well-written Open Source project which does a good job of rendering the content from YCombinator Hacker News on iOS platforms.

Description
HN Reader is made for iOS 8 and entirely developed in Swift.
Never miss a news again, HN Reader feature a useful today widget which is refreshed every time you pull down the notification center. You can quickly read the latest titles and open Safari from there.
Apart from that, HN Reader fully works offline, the news feed is refreshed in background using the iOS background refresh feature and provide some solid caching mechanisms.
You can also save the article to the Safari Reading List with a simple cell swipe. The Safari Reading List is a powerful tool because each article added is saved for offline reading. In the future you'll be able to automatically send latest articles to the Safari Reading List.
Like any good Hacker News client HN Reader let you read the comments for any item.
It works on both iPhone & iPad with the same set of features.
At the moment HN Reader doesn't allow you to login with your Hacker News account, it's a read-only app. But this feature alongside some others will be added soon!
The applications is also totally open source, so if you want to add some features or speedup the development of some others, you can!
The goal when I decided to begin the development of HN Reader was to create a new application from nothing entirely in Swift tailored for iOS 8. With the less amount of code possible. In future updates I want to stay true to this statement.

Looks promising but all the comments are blank in this version. Would love pinboard.in integration too.
worse with each version
totally broken, displays just empty list When it works, the app has some serious omissions: there are no back/forward buttons in the in-app web-browser. It also doesn't allow you to visually distinguish between new, read and old articles. It doesn't allow you to open a page in Safari before it's fully loaded
Cool
Great so far, nice UX. The app icon could look nicer :)
Nearly good
When opening a story and then going back to the list, it scrolls up so that you miss your place. If this bug were to be fixed, it would be really good. But it's a big bug that makes it unusable. iPhone 6+. Doesn't seem to be anywhere else to leave bug reports...
