Is anyone using this? Is it any good?
- sh1mmer 16y agoIt's ok. I wish he would do some updates though. There are some annoying bugs and I haven't ever seen this updated.
- grinich 16y agohey. I'd love to hear about these bugs! you can either post them in this thread or email me at grinich@mit.edu. feature requests are also very welcome.
- halostatue 16y agoTwo feature requests: 1. Let me pull down the reply field to see the comment I'm replying to. Having to reply blind is frustrating. 2. Figure out how to make it so that I can select text from comments. Instapaper support would be nice, but not immediately necessary for me.
- rufo 16y agoOverall, I quite like it (better than iCombinator and trying to use HN directly). Only two problems I have: 1) It seems to crash on threads with too many comments... I'm guessing it runs out of RAM, perhaps? 2) I can't log in with my OpenID.
- grinich 16y agoIf you can let me know what threads it crashes on, that would be really helpful. I have suspicions that it's actually an issue with the parser, not memory.
- halostatue 16y agoI've had it crash on the more "popular" iPad threads recently, where there've been ~193 comments. I'm not sure how much you'd be able to do with this given how HN sends the data.
- grinich 16y agoOk. I'll check it out. Thanks.
- rufo 16y agoIt's seemed like it's anything with over ~100-120 comments, but I'll drop you a line the next time I encounter one.
- seanl 16y agoSo on the balance of comments here I decided to give it a whirl. Posting this from the app, looks pretty good so far.
