It's the 1st version of on-screen navigation so for sure there are rooms for improvement. I think of it as a D-pad, as in games, when you make selection with D-pad, down means selecting below item. I can make a toggle option to reverse

Yeah that's one way to go. Probably I'll use Algolia for users that prefer up front loading. It's slower than official API but would do the job.

Got it thanks!

I already did some optimization to load 1 extra page of comments in advance, which I believe should improve the experience. I also tried the same trick for stories but got some janky issues that I need to figure out first. Swipe down the bu

I have something similar in mind but haven't get started yet. It can be done via HN API, but it can only be done at regular interval (polling), as I don't use Firebase but raw web API.

I already have similar request in my backlog. This is gonna be tricky, because I don't have all comments up front as they are loaded on demand (even for saved comments - loaded on demand from cache).

1. I can't sync vote status so it's only a best effort at the moment to let you vote. Of course after the 1st vote is recorded subsequent votes will not count. This for sure can be improved. 2. Sure. I added vibration because I te

It's stored under your device's accounts, which you can manage via Settings -> Accounts. The same way Google apps work.

Thanks! Would be helpful if you can share your device info so I can try to reproduce that issue. If you still keep the app around you can just send an in-app feedback and it will automatically include such info. Or you can reply here. Or if

Sorry you don't find it useful :( No downvote is a known issue, partly because I can't test it, so I'm not confident I'll deliver a reliable feature. I agree that upvote should be more visible. Currently it's availa

Disable card view (which is the default for new installations) + choose smaller text size would achieve more or less the same. I have already gone thru few iterations of compacting the UI and I'm afraid I can't squeeze it anymore

No, I have to chain requests, using cookies.

You're correct. Saved/bookmarked stories have been there way before HN has favorite. I'm thinking of syncing these two, but it's not very straightforward without API support.

I have made releases available to download here, effectively same as F-Droid, but easier for me to publish: https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic/releases

Thanks! I have incorporated the idea of on-screen navigation button and grouping setting options. What else you think I should consider from Relay?

Single story refresh is a nice idea. I just added it to my backlog. Thanks!

It's because stories/comments are loaded on demand. If you never scroll to it it won't be loaded. It was designed this way partly due to how HN API works, which doesn't provide all data up front. Alternatively app can ag

I'm aware of the issue and trying to find a way to mitigate it.

It's already on my list, just didn't have time to do it yet.

I plan to implement downvoting but I'm not sure of the logic involved (I don't have enough karma to test it myself). Probably I'll add it to a beta channel and let users help test it. Performance can be laggy and is something

When I created it material design was a hot thing, so I just randomly came up with that name. Now it's not relevant anymore but I keep the name to avoid confusion for existing users.

Remind me of a (sort of) similar story of how Iranians consume online content https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11552423 , though for a different reason.

I like how Scrum promotes transparency and trains each individual to become self-managed (or at least getting better at it). But it often feels like it's being hyped up, with many people getting obsessed over its practices/rituals

As a mobile developer, I do appreciate WebView. Using it in the right place for the right situation works great, and proves to be a much cheaper solution than any other things. But I would disagree with using it as the main building block f

Rails is built on top of Ruby language, designed to be opinionated, following MVC. You like it, you use it. You don't like it, try another framework. Using the same analogy, Android is build on top of Java language, is 'opinionate

I have a full time software engineer job, and I work on a side project which is a HN Android app. If your side project is a freelance one, you're probably in for a tough time, due to external pressure. If your side project is a hobby o
