I built a popular Hacker News iPhone (and soon to be iPad) app. It lets you browse stories, explore comments and threads, and open links with an in-app browser (with built-in Readability). You can even log-in and vote up/down and post your own comments. The last update also added support for sharing via Twitter, Instapaper, Facebook, etc.
Check out a demo video here: http://michaelgrinich.com/hackernews/ http://michaelgrinich.com/hackernews/
Currently I'm working on the next update, which will add full iPad support. If anyone has suggestions for what to add, feel free to email me.

- iuguy 16y agoI use this app, it's great!
- michael_dorfman 16y agoI've been using this app for a while, along with a few other HN apps. What's stopping me from using it exclusively is that it only shows the top stories, not the "new" feed. Add that, and you've got a clear market winner.
- grinich 16y agoYep. This is another feature I've been looking at implementing. Other paths: /news /newest /best /active /classic /bestcomments /noobstories /noobcomments Any others? Email me your UDID and I'll send you a build to test.
- daxelrod 16y agoPutting upvote and downvote buttons on opposite sides of the screen to is ingenious. (Explanation: this fixes the "I meant to upvote you but I tapped the wrong tiny button" problem.)
