I used to use a client app like this. But after I switched phones, I never re-downloaded it and have found that using the browser works just as good for such a simple application.
- HaZeust 2y agoDoes it? It doesn't even notify you of new replies.
- xigoi 2y agohttp://hnreplies.com/ http://hnreplies.com/
- HaZeust 2y agoI actually got it last night from someone else reaching out and that's why I was alerted to this, haha. Cheers!
- mmarian 2y agoI run a service that does that: https://hackernewsalerts.com https://hackernewsalerts.com
- mplanchard 2y agoI've come to view this as a feature, personally. It means I'm a lot slower to respond to things, but it helps me to avoid getting drawn into heated conversations.
- lxgr 2y ago+1, it's definitely a feature, not a bug. Getting a push notification or just seeing a little red badge makes me optimize for "be the first to answer". Seeing responses in a polling/async way means I can take a breath, read others' answers, and only respond if somebody else hasn't made the same point already anyway.
- wiseowise 2y agoIt's not a dating site.
- HaZeust 2y agoWhat's this even mean?
- dp-hackernews 2y agoWhy not?
- graynk 2y agoWhatcha doing tonight? ( ͡~ ω •`)
- lowercased 2y agomaybe it's just mobile safari, but hacker news in the browser on mobile is unusable for me.
- zero-g 2y agoI’ve been reading hacker news only through hckrnews.com for years and never looked back
- lowercased 2y agoThanks! Never knew about that one!
- tbeseda 2y agoI love hckrnews! I even cloned it to tailor it to how I use it[1]. Still working on filters and point threshold. [1] https://hnr.app https://hnr.app
- dp-hackernews 2y agoIs there a way to search?
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoWhat's the problem? It's almost perfect on android, for me.
- cenamus 2y agoText links/buttons are terribly small, almost impossible to click. Text is too small too, but manageable. And of course mobile browser don't just let you zoom like on a PC
- lxgr 2y agoText works ok for me (you also can zoom in iOS Safari in the "tab menu" bar button!), but I've definitely downvoted things I've been meaning to upvote when reading on a shaky bus/train.
- codemac 2y agoI'd love actually an "app" that was just the bookmark manager for launching the browser. Chrome, firefox, etc on android all either push me to use piles of shortcut icons w/folders (cluttered and exhausting to manage), or click through a hierarchical menu thats 20 clicks away.
- dbtc 2y agoThis would be great! Especially if it could sync bookmarks from multiple browsers. And URLs could be custom set to open in a non-default browser.
- eitally 2y agoYou can always just "Saved to home screen" from Chrome on mobile, and then create a shortcut folder with your collection of "web" apps. I've been doing this for the past couple years for a few local restaurants that use Square for direct online ordering, in order to shortcut the link to their ordering site.
