This is a solid start to your app and congratulations for getting to a workable release.
It has a Flipboard feel to it with the cards and TFA (the featured artical) graphics. Some people like the barebones minimalism of HN as-is, but your take has a more more modern appeal.
I have used Materialistic & Hack which each have their tradeoffs. Your cards fit only 3 or 4 articals on screen , but they are nicely styled. The big win is a simple press to read TFA text feature from your scrape. It seems to work in 60%ish of cases and is totally useful - I found myself reading the article more frequently and in advance of checking comments.
I would like to see the comment count in addition to the vote score per article.
In the comments view the layout is well thought out - spacing works and the tight vertical grandparent/parent/sibling lines are nice to see. Searching in the comments would be nice.
I hope you take this forward and allow signon for upvoting etc but this is a nice looking addition to the Android reader community so great start and thanks for sharing !
