I get this message "Hacker News API access request exceeded. Please try again later." Initially i was able to see the "new" items but not anymore.<p>Edit: I was able to view the "top" items. When i tried to view the comments,app took me to the actual article instead of comments. Looks simple and neat. This is a good start, I like this so far.

Looks interesting, I'll try it out. The other HN app on WP7 tends to randomly explode for weeks at a time, so this is greatly appreciated.<p>Edit: It would be really nice to browse comments, not just the link article. I tend to enjoy the comments more than the original link.

Looks very pretty. I'm an iOS guy - I've never envied Android but would like to try a Window Phone 7 sometime... It's a fresh look.<p>I don't have a Windows phone, so I can't test it. So my only critique could be about screenshot #2: Why so much wasted space on the bottom?

Very nice, it looks promising. I can't find any way to view comments, I think the list font could be smaller, and please use a png for the splash image instead of a jpeg. Hacker News is one of the main sites I browse on my phone, so a dedicated app is ideal :)
