Great app! Soo close to replacing my go-to HN client on android - "Materialistic". The only thing Trilby is missing for me is a nice home screen widget.

@ndom91 wow that's a high compliment, Nico. Thanks. Widgets are definitely on my radar, especially Android 12's Material You style widgets. :)

Add notifications and I'll switch from HACK (https://play.google.com/store/ap...) to Trilby!

@choudhary Definitely, something on my todo list. I though about implementing it in th first release but due to complexity/time, it couldn't make it. But it's definitely coming :)
