Following your recommendation, I did the same, and I really enjoy it. The interface addresses many (all?) of my typical annoyances with the otherwise great news:yc app.
* it swaps between comments and articles quickly
* nice, unobtrusive indenting for threads
* holy cow folding comments!
* pleasant styling
I haven't figured out how to comment, but I'more of a lurker, so that's fine (it'll keep me from making a fool of myself too much). And there's that initial loading time with a blank, white background that is almost certainly the iPhone's fault.
Swapping over to it now that this is written!
- publicfig 13y agoActually, I could be wrong, but I think the load time is coming from the fact that the developer had to move the application over to S3 in order to deal with the heavy load with this being on the front page, and with S3 not supporting gzip, it's causing a bit of a delay. Once it's loaded, however, the app is very fast in switching between pages and comments.
- HCIdivision17 13y agoI apologize, I actually only meant the initial startup. The speed of everything once it starts is fantastic! I see this delay on forecast.io as well. It could very well simply be a latency issue.
