Great app, but not as stable since iOS 11
Matan Rubin
This app is great for reading HN, but ever since iOS 11 came out it crashes when trying to share to Pocket.
Please fix nested comments!

As others have stated, the comment structure is surprisingly mis-designed. This otherwise fantastic app is unusable for me without a fix to the display of nested comments. Please update! ?

Went from Hacker News to hn and not looking back. Just needs the ability to customize the appearance.
Great news, a couple nitpicks with design.

As noted by other reviewers, Hacker News is a great source for intelligent, science-oriented news and discussion. It's made up of wonderfully interesting, often long-form articles and other appealing content, and you need not be a programmer to enjoy it. However, the minimalist design is occasionally annoying. The tiny gray fonts are a bit hard to read, the nested comment system is somewhat clunky (why can't I just expand replies to a comment instead of diving into each individual one?), and there's no way of figuring out how to create an account. I suppose the dev(s) expect that you'll have an account already from the non-mobile form of the site, but I'm new to HN and thus don't, and as such a sign-up feature would be nice. Otherwise, I was impressed by the stability and speed of the built-in browser, which seems to work much better than my Gmail app and even the Dolphin browser, which are both known to crash and hang, while this app's browser seems to do neither. With all that said, I'd certainly recommend trying the app, and I'd give the experience of using it an A-.
