You don’t need to know anything about hacker news but the octal description clearly describes the functionality, and any App Store reviewer should definitely understand the concept of reader style apps as they are quite numerous. That’s a pretty low bar.
- mrtksn 6y agoA cursory look at the AppStore would tell you the reader style apps similar to reddit, Twitter, etc. are not banned. In fact, there are already multiple HN readers in the AppStore, including OP's app. Obviously the situation is not caused by Apple's policy but an individual reviewer. Mistakes happen and they are fixable when people are involved.
