- bookwormAT 11y agoWhat I miss on every HN app I tried is a focus on search. Maybe I'm using HN differently than most people, but I usually look for discussions on topics I'm interested in, instead of reading the top posts on all topics. For example: I'm an Android developer, so I often browse hacker news by searching for "Android" in topics and comments, to see if there are any interesting discussions. A great app for my usecase would allow me to search and quickly repeat previous searches right from the startpage. You could add widgets that jump directly into saved searches.
- woutervegter 11y agoI also use hackernews in this way. My solution: bookmark this url: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=android&sort=byDate&prefix=false&page=0&dateRange=last24h&type=all https://hn.algolia.com/?query=android&sort=byDate&prefix=fal... and when you open it in Chrome-Android use the 'save to homescreen' option so that Chrome adds an icon on your homescreen, which opens the specific page
- ne01 11y agoI just tried your app, it's very promising! Good luck! Things i like about it so far: * you can switch between new, top, etc ... (very useful) * It opens all the links in a new tab of default browser!! One thing that you can work on is the readability of posts... it's a little bit crowded. (title should be bold while comments & other stuff smaller with lower opacity)
