Great app, I really like the way it deals with nested comments. Just a couple suggestions:<p>* Maybe you could visually distinguish the "headline" item in any given view from the items under it? E.g. when you're looking at a story and its comments, they're all displayed like visually identical items in a single list. Maybe the story (or the top comment, if you're reading a thread) could be made to stand out somehow?<p>* An icon to jump directly to stories from the home page?<p>* You could register the app with an intent filter for urls under <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/</a> (like e.g. Reddit Is Fun does for their app – see the app manifest in their GitHub repo for details)

I love the HNDroid app - <a href="https://github.com/amir/HNdroid" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/amir/HNdroid</a> - which is open source and community-driven.<p>For $1.15, I'll download this and compare the two. But I'm certainly biased in favor of improving existing services and apps vs. recreating the wheel since its easier than collaborating (plus improving existing is certainly the road less traveled.)
