Hackers for Hacker News

Pls add options to change front size

Killed iOS 14 compatibility in a bugfix release, now requires iOS 15 just to have a critical bug fixed. You could fix it for iOS 14 And release iOS 15 only version after that. No good attitude.

The app looks good and works well. It’s also open source. I also like that fonts scale with settings in iOS.

Missing feature: replies!

When you’re scrolling comments it keeps opening the swipe left/right menu, meaning you need to be very careful with how you scroll thereby removing the focus from actually reading

Very good app, just some reason stopped connect to the Hacker News site…

It won’t load any results.

Blank page

If you want to open an article’s comment page in a web browser (eg. to post a comment, bookmark it, etc), you have to go through a weirdly long series of manual steps: tap the share button, tap “Hacker News link”, and then wait several mysterious seconds (even on an iPhone 12 Pro) until the share options appear. Then you tap ‘Copy’, then manually open your browser and paste the link and visit the site. It’s very odd. And it’s even worse if you want to open a specific comment, as the app doesn’t offer a way to go straight to a comment, so you have to manually find the comment on the web after completing the above steps. It’s a great app in most other ways. I just find the above issue significantly annoying, to the point that I really resent using the app. I wonder if it’s a deliberate design decision aiming to reduce reactionary outrage comments, by forcing people to ‘take a breath’? If that’s the intent, I think it has the opposite effect on me, because I’m not taking a breath when I’m jumping through hoops.

And thank you for not disabling the app for M1 Macs, it's a better expreience than the vanilla web page, and this is perfect if you don't want to fiddle about with third party websites.
