    Opened it up, first thing I do is set it to dark because every other HN app runs on dark — immediately prompts me to upgrade and pay. Sorry, but making money by not being annoying is such an old-school way to try and make a buck. Totally understand it can't be free, but then let people pay for things that make your app stand out — not the ability to "let the dark mode toggle stay put", I mean...

    This is great. Thanks for creating it! Matches how I read comments, and fixes my only gripe with HN: I'm forever missing the touch target of the little [-] to collapse a thread once I have read it. Yes there is a next button too, but I prefer to collapse so I don't see what I've already read when scrolling around.

    I found a bug on first launch. Every item was duplicated in the list. A refresh fixed it.

    Anyway, thanks for building this, it's very nicely done and useful.

    How does this compare to HACK? Getting fed up with the crash bug that’s been around for years.

    Been using it for a while. Sometimes it takes a minute+ to initially refresh feeds but I thank that’s a HN issue?

    Thanks for not surveilling the users of your app. I bought the premium version.

    Nice job! Will you be releasing an Android version?

      Thanks! As of now I don't have any plans for Android. It's a native iOS app written in Swift, so that would require building a new app from the ground up.

        Don't know if you saw, but Swift is coming to Android. Might not require a rebuild after all.

    I also prefer BFS expansion of comments. So I implemented https://hn-reader.pages.dev/ for this. Also has dark mode to be easy on eyes.
