- jimmySixDOF 5y agoThis app is my 1st choice for HN engagement but could really use an update and a search function inside comments view. It is has an infinite scroll system so there is no page1/2/3 etc and in the comments section this is especially useful. I used to wonder why Dang inserted the extra pages links at the top of high comment count posts and it is obviously a pain point for him. With this android app its just all there in a slick card presentation. I think there are a lot of interesting ways to enhance our connection to HN's valuable store of knowledge...
- cartoonworld 5y agoYes, it could really use an update. The main pain point for me is the article view in the app. I would prefer that it display the comments as it does but open the article in my browser of choice. The built-in browser view is a little janky, I'd prefer it just pop a firefox tab that I can sync, etc.
