Does this download/preload all comments? This is one feature I can't find anywhere except for HN Zero[0].
When HN Zero loads the list of stories, it pulls all comment threads down too. That way I can read the comments when I'm in the subway.
HN Zero is great but it's a bit dated at this point and lacks some other features that I've learned to live without (no copy/paste from comments, no sharing of links, no iPhone X support).
In any case, I'll try this out. Congrats on shipping!

- tsucres 9y agoUnfortunately, it doesn't. But I'm adding this on my list of potential new features for next versions!
- pmilla1606 9y agoIf that happens consider me a paying customer!
- stenl 9y agoWhy is there no internet in the subway in NYC? I always found that annoying.
- lobster_johnson 9y agoAlmost all subway stations have cell towers now, which works great, but the reception in the tunnels between stations is non-existent.
- pmilla1606 9y agoExactly. Therefore switching comment threads while in the tunnels doesn't work with other HN clients. Maybe this is just old, ingrained behavior of mine but I like to load up a bunch of threads before the train arrives and then read while underway. Also, trying to fetch new comments at a station that happens to not get LTE usually fails and leaves me reading-material-less. Maybe I should bring a book.
