With HN Cards, stay on top of Hacker News, Tinder-style
itunes.apple.comMy personal problem with HN is all the different links with titles that half of the time do not really cover the contents. So I spend to much time opening links and wait valuable ;-) seconds just to discover it was unnecessary. Or skip links which might have been very interesting.
So to speed things up, my ideal reader shows not only the link, but also at the same time a screenshot of the page behind it and preferably even (part) of the actual text. That way I can judge really quickly if its worth opening and reading the page.
I would certainly spend money on that one.
With a title like that, I thought for sure you had build what this person was asking for at the same time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8539307
So... not really "Tinder for HN" in that sense but still a pretty cool idea. I'll need to wait for an Android version to really check it out though.
Honestly very nice and fluid.
One major issue is when I load a page I don't have a readability option. Which makes some blog posts nigh impossible to read.
Also the comment section is also very hard to read without constant pinching and zooming.
Thanks for your comments!
By swiping up you can share to apps like Instapaper etc. if you want to read in the format you like.
Re comments section, an upcoming update will likely adress this in a nice way ;)
Very nice! I'd definitely say you've laid a foundation of usability. Likely your going to become my go to HN app.
Is this iOS only?
For now, yes. Android is on its way :)
