Show HN: Hack Reactor students redesign Hacker News for web and mobile

Hey everyone! I'm currently a student at Hack Reactor. A previous group, for their Greenfield project, redesigned a web version of Hacker News. Their project can be found here (goosewindmill was the random name of their group): http://goosewindmill.herokuapp.com/ I am currently working with another group for a Legacy project and we "inherited" the goosewindmill project. Other members of my group are working with the web version. I redesigned the web app for mobile. Here is the link to the app in the Google Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ionicframework.hnmobile608379&hl=en We'd love to hear your feedback and improve what we're working on! Thanks in advance.

Pretty cool project! On safari 8.0.6, the "HN Feed" h1 is hidden on a 2880*1800 resolution (MacBookPro Retina 15''). Keep working hard, maybe I will use it :). Did you open-sourced the project? Many of us would be interested to look at it.

Intial thoughts: 2/3rds of the screen are seemingly things I don't care about. It is also not centered which annoys me a bit. Light gray on white is hard to read. Image for reference of how it looks to me: http://i.imgur.com/7xzmqxJ.png http://i.imgur.com/7xzmqxJ.png
