Just in case you have not completely killed your productivity already. But seriously, it looks awesome!

If it gets any easier to browse HN, I may stop coding completely in favor of reading about it!

Well done. I'm probably going to chide myself for downloading this in a few hours. :)

How to install?
- guidefreitas 14y ago
  Download the zip, unzip, drag and drop to Applications, double click :)

    I must be an idiot but unzipping the zip just shows project / package contents. http://i.imgur.com/5uUzI.png http://i.imgur.com/5uUzI.png ?

      that's because you downloaded the source instead of the app. the link to the app is at the bottom of the page or here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/148071/HNewsTab/HNewsTab.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/148071/HNewsTab/HNewsTab.zip

Very nice! As others said, as if I need an easier way to be distracted by HN. ;) I love that you made reading comments so easy -- that's usually what interests me more than the actual articles. One suggestion: When you're reading the comments, it would be nice to have a way of opening the full article. I usually read the HN comments on an article before clicking over to the article itself and unfortunately your app has no way of opening the article from the comments view.

Looks neat :-) The comment view looks like the one in hnmobile(http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/landing/ http://cheeaun.github.com/hnmobile/landing/). Did you get inspired by it?
- cheeaun 14y ago
  Try load hnmobile on a non-iOS device/browser :)
  - songgao 14y ago
    So it IS hnmobile. Great job @cheeaun!
    - cheeaun 14y ago
      thanks :)
  - songgao 14y ago
    Btw, hnmobile has become my major (almost only) way to read HN on iOS :-)

Can you collapse parent comments?
