This looks awesome! However, it doesn't address the only problem I have with browsing HN on my Xoom with the regular browser: accidental votes. Is there a way you could add voting arrows larger than the ones on the web page?
Very nice. A few suggestions in case you intend to develop this further:<p>- The "Y" button for hiding/showing the list is maybe a bit too subtle. I only found it by randomly mashing everything on the screen on the theory that surely the functionality had to be somewhere. I think the problem is that it doesn't look at all like an active UI element.<p>- Going directly to comments doesn't seem to be possible. I guess you can just tap the list item and then show comments really quickly, but I would have expected tapping the comment count to do that.<p>- Would be nice to see which stories / comment pages I've already viewed.<p>- Would be even more awesome to see in the main list how many new comments were added since I last viewed the comment page of a story.
- Is it really not possible to view more than the top 50 items?
Is this using the iHackernews API or did you roll your own? (I'm guessing the latter, since you reference jsoup.org?)<p>The iHN API has been very unstable for me lately, but all other HN readers for Android seem to use it (or their UI is just so bad it borders on unusable).<p>Do you think the CPU cost of parsing the HN soup yourself is significant compared to pre-chewed JSON from an API (say, iHackerNews)?
Is there something similar to this for the iPad? I really like the UI. Great work!<p>Edit: I found this which looks similar <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hackernews-for-ipad/id364899977?mt=8" rel="nofollow">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hackernews-for-ipad/id3648999...</a> but the reviews are horrible, unfortunately.
When I try to install it tells me that "the item you are trying to purchase cannot be found". I've not seen that before. is there an apk on the net somewhere?
