Looks good but needs text zoom (cmd =/+ and cmd -). I'd also consider the sidebar include 'My Posts' and 'My Comments'. Maybe it has those, but I couldn't tell

I'd also consider the sidebar include 'My Posts' and 'My Comments'. Maybe it has those, but I couldn't tell, as I turned off outgoing network access to firebase before logging in just to be on the safe side. Any reason you're connecting to firebase rather than storing preferences locally? I'm worried about my HN credentials being stolen.
- pcr910303 5y agoThanks for the feature requests! Will definitely add a text zoom feature and a ‘My Posts’ category. > Any reason you're connecting to firebase rather than storing preferences locally? All of your preferences are stored locally — the firebase connection is due to the official HN API[0] implemented on Firebase. Your HN credentials never leave the app (except for news.ycombinator.com) — it’s tucked in your keychain. [0]: https://github.com/HackerNews/API https://github.com/HackerNews/API
- npunt 5y agoAh thank you for the clarification! Keychain is truly the 'Mac-assed' solution isn't it? I know it's kind of a feature/property of HN to not implement notifications or other attention driving features but it'd be interesting to see this app periodically poll HN for any replies to My Posts / My Comments and generate at least sidebar number badges, if not app badges and system notifications. I'd implement a preference on the latter two though, in keeping with the spirit of not having HN turn completely into an attention grabbing social network for those that wish it not to be.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoPerhaps Dan G could add additional channels for reply notifications at http://hnreplies.com/ http://hnreplies.com/, as they're already doing the necessary reply polling.
