Show HN: HN client app that remembers reading history

8 pointskrishnasangeeth8mo ago2 comments

hey HN,

I am re launching an HN client app that i built this year. It got very little traction when i launched earlier. Following YC advice to do multiple launches, I am going to give it another shot.

It’s fairly basic, but here are some of the features that I hope you would like.

- Minimal, distraction-free UI

- keyword based search functionality to see past stories.

- Dark mode support

- Breeze through comments with collapse functionality.

- Bookmark your favourite stories to read later or revisit any time

- All your reading history is saved.

- Export reading history when you want it.

I hope you give it a try! The app is free with an optional contribution for those who wish to do it.

Thanks. Currently i am using the HN api (https://github.com/HackerNews/API) . It's a read only API and doesn't support writes. I heard that might be away to do this with a webview initially, haven't explored that yet.
