Comments:
Minimalist beyond the point of Frustration. The app is so limited in what it can do that it hurts the overall experience. You can't comment, only get a small view of HN, can't see what you voted on, interface is slow to respond. It is a very meh app in a fussy not friendly sort of way.
Is there a plan to add search? These days searching HN is a good way to cut through noise and online BS ... Or does it violate your minimalist design principles?
Very informative. The app itself is minimalistic. Love it.
Hey devs the nytimes website browsed from your app loads but after a few secs it gives a blank screen
Hipster news is a platform for the incels of the programming community. They couldn't hack themselves out of a plastic bag. It's like reddit but everyone takes themselves seriously. Only get this app if you're a sociopath or like messing with sociopaths."
