Just tried it out. I usually use Harmonic, and in general I much prefer the UI - it's more minimalistic, lower contrast, and I prefer the font (Product Sans). It also has a built in ad blocker. However, I appreciate the various filtering options / different feeds and the archive access seems like a really useful feature.
On the whole I think I'll stick with Harmonic, but it looks like it has some potential.
- busymom0 5y agoThe settings in my app can be customized to make it as minimalist as needed (like hide favicons, hide the metadata, only show titles etc). There’s also settings for color choices and a setting to use lower contrast text. Font sizes and paragraph spacing can be changed to make it more compact. My app has a built in adblocker too for the built in browser. My app has reply push notifications too which I don’t think any of the other HN apps have. As for the font, Product Sans is not legally allowed to be used by third parties as far as I am aware: https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/102262/can-i-use-the-font-product-sans-for-a-commercial-poster/115783#115783 https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/102262/can... My app allows you to change fonts too and it supports Montserrat font which looks visually similar to Product Sans.
