Ask HN: best HN app for iPhone?

3 pointswaldr14y ago4 comments

I've tried a few of the free ones and not found anything that consistently loads comments, or displays web pages in a native browser. Any recommendations please!

It is possibly this: http://samuelhughes.com/HNWeb.tar.gz

It got rejected from the App Store.

It tracks unread posts based on your scrolling and highlights new unread posts. It displays web pages in a native browser, makes voting buttons bigger and asks for confirmation, makes the font size appropriate. It works by filtering the HTML that goes to the browser widget, and that aspect of it might need updating if the site's HTML has changed.

Try my app http://hackerno.de

Still in beta but works well on the iPhone.

If you need a promo code let me know.
