Hacker News

Hacker News is a cool news website where users can share and discuss all kinds of interesting stuff. It’s built around user submissions, so you’ll find plenty of intellectually stimulating articles. What’s neat about it is that there’s a voting system that lets readers give their two cents on the links shared.

Accessing Hacker News with Ease

The HackerNews app makes it super easy to access the website without dealing with a bunch of browser tabs. This standalone application keeps everything organized and right at your fingertips, so you won't waste time switching back and forth.

Navigating Stories and Comments

When you open up HackerNews, you'll see a list of stories from different collections. You can check out the current article along with its comments. Plus, there’s an option to view just the article or just the comments if you prefer!

Stay Updated with Your Favorites

You can easily switch between top stories or new ones, dive into categories like Ask HN or Show HN, and catch up on the most voted links or active discussions! Just keep in mind that while you have to refresh manually for updates, it's pretty straightforward.

Keyboard Shortcuts for Efficiency

If you're a keyboard shortcut fan, you’ll love this! HackerNews has handy hotkeys to speed things up. Just hit 'h' to see all available shortcuts (you can't customize them though).

Share Links Easily

You can send article links straight to your browser, copy links easily to your clipboard, or even Google stories using the built-in browser!

Improving Readability

If an article is tough to read, no worries! The app includes a Readability tool that makes reading easier. Plus, it can look for cached versions if the site is down.

Posting New Links

If you're itching to post new links or share your thoughts on something, you'll have to hop over to your default web browser first and log into your Hacker News account.

Your Go-To for Reading Articles

The HackerNews app is a great way to read articles and check out links shared on the Hacker News platform while seeing what others think about them too!

Packing More Features

This app also comes with a built-in PDF reader for those PDF documents you might come across. It remembers which stories you've read and helps you navigate posts using those handy keyboard shortcuts we talked about earlier.
