This is actually pretty cool since you can read the stories inline (instead of pulling up the iPhone's browser interface). That said, it would be nice to have the option to pull up a browser in case I wanted to navigate around on the source site.
Oh, and bro, you have to tell Isaac and Sean to stop spamming your posts with upvotes and comments: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1118734 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1118734. They're cramping your style.
Edit: Thanks Sean for removing your comment on this post.

- danielodio 16y agoHmmm an interesting question. Seems that the culture around RSS isn't set like other mediums are. For example, when you put an RSS feed on your site - a feed that a content site owner made available - you're keeping the user off the original content owner's site too. Interestingly, the RSS feed that I pulled to put content into the app (http://andrewtrusty.com/2009/06/29/readable-feeds/ http://andrewtrusty.com/2009/06/29/readable-feeds/ by Andrew Trusty) has 578,925 "hits" (don't know if he means subscribers). So I guess in a round about way I'm asking, is taking that existing (awesome) and publicly available feed and putting it into a mobile app for consumption on the go what bothers you, or just the fact that the feed exists in the first place? - DROdio
- danielodio 16y agoHey bro, yes you can actually do that today. Here's how: Just hit the little arrow button on the top right of a story, and you can view in browser, share in email & Twitter, or, of course, share in Facebook. Wouldn’t want to forget that one ;) Screenshots on how to do this at http://go.DanielOdio.com/HNapp http://go.DanielOdio.com/HNapp
