About this application
HN is an Android client for reading and participating in Hacker News discussions from a phone or tablet. It presents technology news items, links, and comment threads in a mobile interface, so readers can follow submissions and move through nested conversations without using a web browser.
The app is intended for people who already use Hacker News or want a focused reader for that community. Its scope is tied to that service: it is not a general RSS reader or a multi-site news aggregator. Within that limit, it supports the common reading flow of opening stories, viewing discussion, and adding comments from an Android device.
