I just wanted to extend my appreciation for your work. It's by far the most used app on my iPhone; even occupying a spot on the main navbar. Occasionally, I've

  iPhone 4s/5? I have 5s, and didn't notice that, but I also mostly use my Android device. It actually gets ycombinator page, parses DOM and generates JSON that I can use in my app. I think that might be the reason.

    It's an iPhone 5s. It only occurs after I've used the app for a while, then switching to an article with a large number of comments; scrolling can become laggy enough to render the app unusable (i.e. scrolling even a small amount takes over a second; lag seems to scale based on the comment count). I'm guessing that if the DOM is parsed completely prior to rendering the comments, that shouldn't be a bottleneck--unless the parsing step is re-run as scrolling occurs to render comments dynamically. Or given that a forced restart resolves the issue, perhaps it's a memory issue; i.e. if the JSON data is held in memory for each article viewed, and it continues to grow. This is certainly not a showstopper, and it's a fantastic app! But figured you'd appreciate the info.
