Ask PG: Could There be an Official HN Client?

13 pointsby alariccoleover 11 years ago
There&#x27;s been a lot of talk about iOS clients on HN lately. It&#x27;s quite fragmented, with a lot of abandoned or inactive projects. I&#x27;ve built one that is the most advanced and up-to-date, and I&#x27;m considering open-sourcing it. Obviously this is a labor of love, as it&#x27;s free, and there&#x27;s not much to be made in such a small market anyway.<p>Since the site is still not optimized for mobile, I&#x27;d like to offer it up as the official Hacker News client, transferring iTunes (appsto.re&#x2F;i6xC4GD) rights if needed, and let the community own it. What&#x27;s your stance on this?

Why is everyone so focused on shoving HN into an app when the site could just be made mobile friendly? There&#x27;s no reason to go crazy making another app to manage when a few lines of CSS (and maybe a couple markup changes) would suffice.

I&#x27;ve not talked to PG and thus don&#x27;t have much to say, but I do have some fun things to run past you if you get in touch.<p>Email in my profile.
