I personally find it a bit odd to see the iOS interface on the desktop, but if you want to go with it, you might want to do it properly.<p>Do the detail disclosure buttons actually any details, or should you have used the disclosure indicator instead?<p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3078665/whats-the-difference-between-an-detail-disclosure-button-and-an-disclosure-indi" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3078665/whats-the-differe...</a>

Nominee for the procrastination award!

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I find it hard to do a quick scan of stories. When I'm on the HN site, I can very quickly skim and find stories on the front page that interest me. Maybe it's the narrow width of the table? Can you make that adjustable by dragging the corner?<p>Otherwise, it's really slick &#38; works perfectly well. Good stuff.

The OS X app looks very nice.<p>Though I'm having difficulties grabbing the scroll bar thumb on that blog. There's an element hovering it. Am I the only one seeing this: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/GyJ2z.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/GyJ2z.png</a><p>Of course I can use the scroll-wheel or cursor keys...

Great idea. I definitely like the use of apple/ios design elements with the tabs/cells.<p>For me, personally, I'm afraid this kind of thing might go the way of the twitter app. At first really handy, then mostly distracting. =-/ If only I had more will power.<p>We'll see how long I can keep it up there!

Neat idea. Might ruin my entire workday if this came into my desktop. Must. Resist. And. Not. Install.

Im trying it out - but share voiced concerns about making the distraction that is HN that much more accessible -- but that's my problem, not yours :)<p>and the iOS interface does feel a little peculiar..<p>Either way, great job building a fun app and sharing it with HN!

1. Get rid of the refresh button and have it auto refresh every 5 minutes.<p>2. Clear items that have been visited.<p>3. Add a clear all items item.<p>4. Show 25 (edit make that 30, same as HN front page) items and make it fit on a Air 11"

Hey! Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I'll start to implement some of those as soon as I can and let you know.

Great idea! This can be applied to other services as well. I am just afraid my top menu will become full of icons.

pretty cool! I wish it had scroll-to-refresh though.
