True, you'd think Safari wouldn't let websites go so crazy with WebGPU :)

1: Sorry about that, the default 20,000 is to make it look nice on computers but I should probably drop it a bit for phones, that's reasonable. 2: Yeah this part is important and cool and not entirely obvious until you solve the differ

Glad that you like it! It is a BottomSheet ( https://m2.material.io/components/sheets-bottom ) which is a Material design component from Google and they handle a lot of the complexity (although the implementation in the

Thank you very much! I actually made the logo with matplotlib by just plotting a bunch of sines with integer frequencies and put it together in Photoshop and feel like it's held up OK

Yeah a widget is something that would be nice - I don't use them heavily myself so I guess that's a big reason for why they are not there right now. I do remember Materialistic having a OK widget.

Very nice - I look forward to a PR. Contact me if you have some question about the code and I'll try to help you out :)

Yeah this is something that has been on my mind. It is possible because I know other apps do this but I haven't looked into details of the API. I totally get the appeal and have received many requests to add this. THere is an option to

Oh I see, yeah on Android 9 you are getting a fallback color for when automatic theming is not available. I would recommend using the regular light theme as this has a green accent which I think is nicer on the eyes. I'll add a note to

Hey thanks for the kind words! About the "tabbing" behavior; I know Sync for Reddit on tablets introduced a version of this a while back but as you say getting the UX of this correct on phones is very challenging but it is an inte

Haha wow that's actually crazy that you switched phone partly because of Harmonic! 1. Deep linking used to work a couple years back but I think there was some Android change making it harder meaning you had to verify that you had owner

Glad you like it and thanks! There's been many feature requests over the years of that nature so I am glad they address the same pain points of multiple people. As can be found in/values/themes.xml line 119, the accent color

by swesnow 3y ago
Thank you! It is partly - I use Sync for reddit as my reddit client and that is an inspiration for much of the UI however I did actually download Relay because I know it had some interesting UI choices and stole some ideas from there. It&#x

by swesnow 3y ago
Wow I never thought anyone would be so hardcore as to actually run Harmonic on windows subsystem and Chrome OS - I figured not a lot of people don't use the big screen mode and I mostly made the tablet changes for when I bought myself

You're very right - and it's kind of hard to explain even to myself why. I'm glad its done now and people seem to be actually looking into the code

You're very welcome! Always nice to hear that someone has been happy with the app for a long time. Would be very cool if you could make some form of contribution. Again I apologize for the code being somewhat of a mess - it was not mad

by swesnow 3y ago
Thank you! I agree that those are for sure the most important things. Glad it does the trick for you :)

by swesnow 3y ago
Always good to hear from the day 1 OG:s :) I also went through the ritual of trying almost all available HN clients back in 2020 and being unhappy and Harmonic was the result. I'm glad it worked out the same way for you!

by swesnow 3y ago
That is very kind of you to say - you're welcome!

by swesnow 3y ago
Thank you! I am glad you appreciate the choice of focus! It does however make tweaking the app a bit harder at times but as long as it looks and behaves good I am happy as well :)

by swesnow 3y ago
Good thought, fixed that now, thanks!

by swesnow 3y ago
Good that I could convince you :) I hope to get around to posting it on F-Droid soon, it doesn't seem like too much work

by swesnow 3y ago
That makes me very happy to read! And I'm glad that making it open source can increase your enjoyment

by swesnow 3y ago
Thanks you and thanks for noticing the details :)

by swesnow 3y ago
You're welcome! I use it daily as well and like the idea that others are too :)

Glider is a nice app for sure and I totally get the F-droid appeal - nice to hear that you are still able to be impressed by the app :)
