Meet news:yc, the open source Hacker News client for your iPhone.

Thanks for releasing it as free software. <a href="https://github.com/newsyc/newsyc" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/newsyc/newsyc</a>

Upvoted for multiple reasons: 1) The app itself looks pretty good. 2) Open-source 3) You're a high school student too. (What year?)

I ran across this earlier today and added a small feature to it[1]. The author is very receptive to pull requests, so I highly recommend forking away!<p>If you're interested in contributing and stumped for things to add or fix, check out the included TODO file.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/newsyc/newsyc/commit/01bc7bf30c10a2abd8f0ff7d481743b001eb6f01" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/newsyc/newsyc/commit/01bc7bf30c10a2abd8f0...</a>

With all the effort going into that app and the other web wrappers mentioned around here, I may be missing something but why is there no media query in HN CSS to adapt itself to iPhone, iPad <i>and</i> other (WebKit-based at least) mobile devices. I weight it to about ten lines of CSS at most, setting font scale, body width and vote up image size. I am on the verge of creating a bookmarklet to load such additional CSS and sync it to my devices but couldn't resort to that yet because of it being a <i>total hack</i> that I'd need to call on <i>each HN page load</i>.

Here's a question. Love the app, but can I login to my account? I don't have a normal YC-account, but rather one through Open-ID with my Google Id.

Looks awesome, I'll happily buy it for $5 once it hits the store.<p>It's also nice that it's open source. Contributing to an actual iOS app could be a nice way to get a taste of iOS development without having to start a whole project from scratch (if you have no previous experience.)

Nice work, this is the new best HN iPhone client.

I've been pretty happy with the Hacker News app by Michael Grinich, but this looks promising and competition is a wonderful thing.

This is great, thank you!<p>Took me a while to figure out how to get signed in with instapaper... Turns out it's in the Settings app. I wish Apple provided an API to link from an app to its settings page, and back to the app from the settings.

No Android love?

Wait, are you chpwn by any chance? Because you quite extensively use the slide-behind header trick from his last post on <a href="http://chpwn.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">http://chpwn.com/blog/</a>
