I am the OP and CoFounder of Mokriya, the company that built Mokriya Craigslist. It has innovative UI that is never seen before in any other apps. Would love to know what HN thinks of the App. It is a complete redesign of Craigslist on Mobile from the ground up, with innovative UI. Here is some press about the app.<p><a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2013/02/20/craigslist-app-from-mokriya-aims-to-simplify-mobile-classifieds/" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2013/02/20/craigslist-ap...</a><p><a href="http://techland.time.com/2013/02/20/its-craigslist-only-on-an-phone-and-beautiful/" rel="nofollow">http://techland.time.com/2013/02/20/its-craigslist-only-on-a...</a><p><a href="http://pandodaily.com/2013/02/20/what-if-craigslist-had-design-sensibility-this-is-what-youd-get/" rel="nofollow">http://pandodaily.com/2013/02/20/what-if-craigslist-had-desi...</a><p>Happy to answer any questions on how we built the app and thought process behind some of the UI and UX in the app.

It's always fun to experience new patterns and interactions.<p>In case you're looking for feedback:<p>1. The location selection is reversed - ie: when I am selecting the city, the State (smaller column showing only 2 letters) should be on the left not right, since you're drilling down. (But for category selection, you have it the 'right' way, with the higher level/smaller column on the left).<p>2. There's something going on with the top stroke at the top of the app, below the 20px black status bar - it seems to get shorter then longer whenever I tap the search icon top right. I noticed it since it was quite jarring.<p>Really enjoy the full width pictures in the listings!

It's slick. It's nice to use. Doesn't fix the decades-old problems with Craigslist - not your fault, the license they sell is incredibly restrictive (basically allows you to make a mobile client for them and pay for the privilege) and explicitly prohibits any kind of innovation.

Even though I said yes to allow it to use my location it put me in Santa Barbara and I'm San Francisco.

Awesome, it's about time someone made a nice-looking mobile experience

There are only about 7 million iPhone and Android apps that let you browse craigslist..I don't see what makes this one different. @ethanparker, you can try to be a little less obvious when upvoting a product you are associated with
