   Thanks! As of now I don't have any plans for Android. It's a native iOS app written in Swift, so that would require building a new app from the ground up.

   Thanks! I wanted to read comments in a breadth-first manner, and I knew from the start that using Apple navigation solutions wouldn't work for me, the visual change on the screen between two states would be too big and distracting. I m

   That's how my app handles customizations - they just get resetted once in a while, but you can use them without paying, Premium just makes them permanent. I wonder if it's not obvious from the UI and people think that you can&#x27

    Do you have more info on the max comment depth by any chance? I did a quick search and, unless the info is outdated, it looks like there's some kind of anti-flamewar mechanism in place, but no set max depth https://news.ycom

    That's an interesting UX problem. Have you tried Anchors ("#" buttons)? Do you feel like it would be convenient if there was an option to mark all new posts as anchors? You could jump between them with "previous/nex

    Thanks! Under the "Sign In" button you can tap "Alternative method", it opens a webview and you can auto-fill you credentials from the keychain. It's a few more taps, because you have to choose from the list of save

    I'll think about a better approach of monetizing the app. I always struggle when trying to choose what should be behind an in-app purchase. In this case I just picked the least restrictive option of what the popular competitor apps do
