HackerNewt for Hacker News - iOS Hacker News client to not get lost in big discussions

by
The app uses an alternative way of navigating comment tree - swipeable stacks, which helps you in maintaining the context and keeping track of where you are in the discussion tree. You'll never have to guess who is a parent of the comment you're reading again.

The main problem that HackerNewt is solving - navigating Hacker News comment tree without any friction at all. For that I've come up with swipeable stacks mechanism, it offers several advantages over traditional interfaces: - Comment width doesn't get narrower no matter how deep in the tree you are - You always see the parent of the comment you're currently reading - Swiping allows you to move in and out of subtrees with animated transitions that you fully control - You can easily skip subtrees that don't interest you by scrolling (there's a video preview of how it works on the AppStore page, as it's truly hard to describe it with text) It all works together to help you maintain context and keep track of where you are in the discussion tree. The app is full featured, it does all the things that you would expect it to do, but there's extra: custom boards, search, in-thread search, anchors, reading list, recent items.

Nice one and I actually like the one time fee! Congrats on the launch! I also like the image is the favicon of the page I would also like to see this even smaller so it won’t get my eyes away from text
