Tell HN:If you are using the Android HN reader I wrote, upgrade to 2.2

4 pointsby ctragerover 13 years ago
Before 2.2, the Android reader depended on a Sinatra screen-scraping app go-between running on Heroku. I don't understand why but lately that app is often failing. (Is ycombinator.com blocking it?). So, last night, I changed the Android app so that most of the screen-scraping is done by Java code in the Android app itself.<p>Sorry for the inconvenience.

If YC is blocking it you should probably follow up with them first before routing around it.
