Is it just me, or do a number of these comments seem... manufactured? Almost all of the positive comments come from accounts with < 10 karma.<p>Just from reading the comments, I was expecting a nice looking app. However, when I actually saw the screenshots I was greatly disappointed. Nonexistent margins, line height issues, and more make for a client that is worse than the original HN.<p>Then, to learn that it isn't even feature complete (no comment voting) and the author is charging $5?
Great design. Especially the use of icons that's lacking in most other HN clients.<p>Normally is simply use Google Chrome with this extension that makes HN looks pretty <a href="http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/hn-special/" rel="nofollow">http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/hn-special/</a><p>I can also recommend this alternative site <a href="http://hn.premii.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hn.premii.com/</a>
The app looks great. I think the name is not that great. Macker means in German "old man" or "boy friend" (<a href="http://www.dict.cc/?s=macker" rel="nofollow">http://www.dict.cc/?s=macker</a>). So I (as German) had to smile a little with the combination.
there's somewhat of an issue going on with your site: all slide overlays are showing when using firefox, safari only shows half slides and chrome isn't able to load the website at all…
I still find Hacky [0] better, although it's been abandoned for a while.<p>[0] <a href="http://www.hackyapp.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hackyapp.com/</a>
IMHO, you cannot charge 5$ for, what I would call, "a dedicated HN browser".<p>Do people charge 5$ for reddit clients?<p>BTW, in your webpage, slides are broken.
This looks awesome! Premii's HN client[1] is probably my favorite so far.<p>[1] <a href="http://hn.premii.com/" rel="nofollow">http://hn.premii.com/</a>
Great job!<p>When will comment voting be implemented?<p>Also, in comments - would be great if links were clickable, and if the user could highlight and copy text.
Pretty awesome app! I always wanted a hacker news dedicated mac client! I love that you can read, share, comment and vote. Also the real time extension is great!
