HackerNewt for Hacker News
HackerNewt is a Hacker News client designed to provide an alternative way of displaying comment trees. This iPhone application offers several advantages over traditional interfaces, making it easier to navigate and maintain context within the discussion tree.
One of the key features of HackerNewt is that the width of comments does not get narrower, regardless of the depth in the tree. This ensures that you can read comments comfortably without any loss of readability. Additionally, the app always displays the parent comment of the one you're currently reading, allowing you to easily understand the context of the discussion.
With HackerNewt, you can navigate through subtrees with animated transitions that you have full control over. Swiping gestures enable you to move in and out of subtrees seamlessly, providing a smooth and intuitive user experience. Furthermore, you can easily skip subtrees that don't interest you by simply scrolling, saving you time and effort.
The app also includes a range of other features such as custom boards, search functionality, in-thread search, anchors, a reading list, and recent items. These features enhance your overall reading experience on Hacker News, making it more convenient and efficient.
Please note that the developer of HackerNewt, Andrii Sievrikov, is not affiliated with Hacker News in any way. This application is licensed as free and falls under the Education & Reference category, specifically in the Books subcategory. Whether you're a regular visitor of Hacker News or new to the platform, HackerNewt offers a unique and enhanced reading experience that you can enjoy.
