What users are saying

1. Fix those formatting issues and add a way to jump between parent comments (preferably using volume keys) so you don't have to scroll to find the next parent comments and it's an easy 5 star rating.Beautiful and distraction free.

2. Intuitive and minimal interface, readability and dark theme are perfect! Please add font size choices.Deserves 5 star but keeping one less for not able to change font size.

3. needs support for sorting by new, past, comments, etc along with support for logging in, voting, and leaving comments.I love how this app shows the articles and the previews through its own reader.

4. Thanks!Great app, I love how it formats articles into plaintext (it keeps the look beautiful) but there are just a few formatting issues that need to be fixed.

5. All the articles load perfectly in both plain text and rich web page without switching in and out of in-app browsers or external as some of the other HN apps.Very beautiful, but very basic.

6. The site is as simple as it gets; not clear why any reader for it would struggle for so long to fetch and render content.Really nice application, love the UI and the ease of use.

7. But it very much hurts my eyes to keep reading on it because of the small font size.

8. Can you please add a setting to increase font size and also to save stories to read them later.

9. Combining the news page and comments is a brilliant idea.

10. Text is too small on my phone...Absolutely love the design.

11. However, you could add a font size config.
