Show HN: Hackers - my iPhone app for Hacker News
weiranzhang.comHi HN,
Developer here. Hackers is my first project and I'd love to get some feedback from HN.
I decided to focus on reading HN as that's what I mainly do on my iPhone. Hopefully that's enough differentiation from the excellent news:yc app that already exists.
A few key features:
* Typography focused design
* Collapsable comments
* Read/unread badge
* Instapaper mobilizer
I wrote a little about Hackers on my blog: http://weiranzhang.com/blog/2013/3/hackers-a-hacker-news-app...
You can run it on your iPhone for free if you have a developer account, just clone the git repo: https://github.com/weiran/Hackers

Thanks, Weiran.
Good app, been using for about a week now on my iPad. I wasn't a Hacker News reader until I started using this app. Now I spend all my time on here.
The app has a clean and simple feel. A proper iPad version that has some sort of portrait mode would good.
A nice job for your first iPhone application. I especially like that you open sourced it.
An iPad version would be nice.
Hahaha, wow. Yours looks almost identical to the one that I've been developing. That's a bummer!
