Hi everyone
big HN fan here ... so big, that I always wanted a better UI on mobile (and desktop).
So since none of the existing apps satisfied my taste, I setout to do the only reasonable thing: program an app myself.<p>It's made in flutter + serverpod (so all Dart) and therefore comes in iOS, Android, Web (future Linux, Mac, Windows)<p>Yes, it has all the boring parts:
list feeds, read and comment articles, ...<p>More exciting parts:<p>- swipe list items for faster actions (fav, upvote)<p>- customize feed (pure list, preview image, newspaper style)<p>- Customize click actions (open URL, open comment)<p>- highlight OP comments.<p>- collapsable comment threads.<p>The every exciting parts:<p>- Offline reading / caching<p>- Notifications about high-score/interesting/most-commented items.<p>and<p>- AI summary, summaries the article as a bulletin<p>Wanna try out the app (as PWA) before downloading

<a href="https://www.hn-reader.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.hn-reader.com</a><p>And yes, I'll be in the comments for questions
Your recent comments come off a bit spammy (and are flag killed) - are you manually posting your recent comments or is the app posting the summary automatically?<p>I dunno if HN is the kind of place for a "sent by applicationName" footer in every comment either, feels like none of your comments are going to be seen while using this app
Can you add it to <a href="https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news">https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news</a> , too? That's usually where I point users to when they ask about mobile apps or dark mode or extra features (filtering, offline). HN website should start listing apps on a help page.
