    I thought I'd post this now that I'm using this as my de-facto way to read HN. How annoying is it when the front page is clogged with "We're going to Mars in 15 years" and "Gangnam Style broke YouTube" stories. I read them, but I don't want to see them after that.

    Comments and enhanced animations are up next.

    Were you aware that Helvetica Neue is a typeface?[1]

    sounds interesting. I especially like the caching for offline reading. one question: how does this impact battery life since the app automatically refreshes the stories? is there a way to turn that off / manually refresh?
