Show HN: Experimental Mac app for reading HN
Yesterday I decided I wanted to experiment with different ways of reading HN. After considering a few options, I settled on a Mac app and spent a couple of hours planning/sketching on paper.
This morning I fired up Xcode and spent 4 hours hacking away and I must say I'm liking how it's looking. Since the project is in its very early stages, I though that it could be a very good time to get some feedback.
I've posted a few screenshots at http://imgur.com/a/rCbVN and uploaded a binary at http://abra.rm-fr.net/~fiam/HackerNews.zip
If you have some free time, give a try and let me know what you think about. I'll really appreciate that.

- vgrichina 15y agoWould be cool if it can show comments page in a split view below article. Maybe it is already possible but not visible in screenshots?
- albertogh 15y agoThere's currently a segmented control in the top left of the article to switch between article an comments, but your suggestion sounds interesting.
- wh-uws 15y agowould like to give it a shot but it won't run on 10.6.8 and I only have a work mac im not sure I can upgrade to test on
- albertogh 15y agoI'm using view based tableviews, which are only available in 10.7. Thanks for trying though :-)
- c_t_montgomery 15y agoI'm very impressed thus far. One thing - its a bit slow for me (loading in a post and starting up in general). However, that may just be my internet connection. I would love to help with this in any way possible. Let me know (email is in profile).
