Looks pretty good and works really smoothly! Still, I prefer the HN RSS feed and Mr. Reader. For some reason, I like to see what I've read already...

  One of the things I added to Hacker News Padreader was to mark what's been read. Give it a shot: http://itunes.apple.com/app/hacker-news-padreader/id428331410?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/app/hacker-news-padreader/id42833141...

Used for a bit and appreciate the effort. Always felt the navigation wasn't a good fit because of the way it pulls up the pages (non full screen). I prefer just heading directly over to HN via my iPads browser.

Not really a criticism, but wow- that's a lot of orange!

Neat, You and I had similar things in mind when building our HN apps. What prompted you to build one too? In my case, it was the lack of login and vote support in every other app I'd tried.

  Well I just wanted to build a network of apps, and since I read HN everyday I thought I might as well start with HN.

This is my preferred client, though mostly on iPhone, as using the browser on my iPad isn't nearly as much of a problem. Great work. I would love if there was a "hide visited" option somehow. Just a thought.

I would say HackerNode both on iPhone and iPad are the best HN apps I've found. I use them multiple times per day. Great work!

I've been using this app for a while and feel this is the best iphone app for HN. great job.

Like others I also use HackerNode daily....thanks for building it! I think my only feature request would be to have it support landscape mode, at least for the embedded browser. Thanks again for the great app!

I wish it supported logins and comments natively... Unless it does and I'm not seeing it...
