I downloaded it. Nice. Some quick feedback:
1. It looks like you are querying out real-time to bring back the list of stories. Why the need to modify/delete SD card content?
2. The default action, when clicking on a news item, is to take you to the website of the article (or here, for ask). You have to long press to see the comments. I hate to say this, but I often read through the comments BEFORE going to the outside link for the story details (ask is the exception). Can you give a preference of what you want to be the default option when selecting a news item?
3. Nice touch - to put the icons of the website (e.g. blogger) next to the article title. Hard to see, but still decent.
Anyway, nice job!
- codeslush 15y agoAlso, if it is an "Ask" entry (or any non-external url entry), pull down the contents with the result set and just show it inline, or query out for the item and show inside your app, instead of launching hn in a separate browser.
- glebche 15y agoInteresting. I can probably handle all HN content within the app itself
- glebche 15y agoThanks. Good feedback. Re: store/delete SD card: I need storage for image caching and also for the Save feature. You can save stories and then read later. Definitely will add preferences- good idea
- joebadmo 15y agoI agree with the GP that the long-press is annoying. But I I think it would be just as annoying the other way. Seems to me there's plenty of space for a button to go to the comments. Also, I understand there's not a lot of room on a phone screen, but no indication for comment nesting at all? Minor nitpicks. Overall, looks great!
