These things come and go, the annoying part is verifying they are still maintained. I recently collected this list along with the best discussion, typically from their launch:

Many of these discussions include comments vouching for these and other alternative UIs.
App recommendations would also be appreciated (if you created or regularly use the app yourself).

- jorvi 9y agoI've tried multiple clients on iOS and MiniHack[1] is by far the best one I've tried and is well-maintained. Only issue with it is that dark mode is triggered by light intensity and not time, so if you're on the threshold value the color theme will constantly flip-flop.

- kitsunesoba 9y agoAutomatic theme switching can be disabled in its settings. I have mine set to full time dark theme.
- jorvi 9y agoI like automatic theme switching, but I want it to trigger based on time (as 99% of apps does), not light intensity.
- balladeer 9y agoAnd I have tried many apps but I have always felt better using the website both on desktop and mobile. This way I also check it less. I try to keep bare minimum of essential apps on my phone. Rest just websites whenever I have to use it.
- leandot 9y agoI actually like how simple HN is, I only created http://hnbuzz.com/ http://hnbuzz.com/ for a more stable view (e.g. weekly, monthly), I switch between both.
- blueish 9y agoI've been using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.github.hidroh.materialistic For my day to day browsing. It has a pretty fully fledged feature set, including saving stories for later, and some neat aggregates (top last 24 hours is labelled "catch up" or something similar).
- BenjiWiebe 9y agoYes I really like Materialistic too. Using it now, in fact.
- NiceGuy_Ty 9y agoIt also looks fantastic when using the solarized theme
- feliciaan 9y agoI use the hndigest morning newsletter, with Some top stories of the day. https://hndigest.com/ https://hndigest.com/
