This is a RubyMotion Mac app open sourced here <a href="https://github.com/MohawkApps/Hacker-Bar" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/MohawkApps/Hacker-Bar</a>
Here's a link to an open source implementation of this concept that allows you to browse the whole site including comments:<p><a href="http://www.guidefreitas.com/hacker-news-menu-tab-app" rel="nofollow">http://www.guidefreitas.com/hacker-news-menu-tab-app</a><p>I've been using this for a bit and it's pretty neat. Also not required to use the Mac App Store to install it.
+1 for RubyMotion and making a Mac OSX App. A lot of the Ruby Motion stuff seems to push people to thinking it is mostly for the mobile app development stuff, but I think its the easiest way to build custom gui apps on the mac. Very cool!
Ability to save to Pinboard / Pocket / etc would be cool. Otherwise - don't really see how this is better than <i>just</i> having an open HN tab in browser.
