    Howdy everyone. Long time lurking around here. I always wanted to learn about mobile development, and decided to build something that I would actually use as everyone always suggests.

    As of right now, it's a simple Hacker News reader. The main feature is the ability to read the article/website together with the comments (none of the current HN apps have that, and I "stole" this idea from the Artifact app, which combined the news with comments ). I also wanted to keep the colors/theme in sync with the official HN.

    I did several small projects over the past few years, but after deploying them, that was it. I never used them.

    This one I've been using daily for the past month or so, and the number of bugs or things that were bothering me were incredibly high! It's been a good experience fixing and seeing it quickly with OTA updates.

    Working to fix all the spaghetti code and open-source it. I am also adding a couple more features.

    Android is ready but needs 20 testers. Let me know if you are interested. :D
