About Hacker News App.

Hacker News, reimagined for iOS. Stay on top of the tech world with a fast, beautiful Hacker News reader built entirely with SwiftUI. Browse stories, read articles in distraction-free Reader mode, dive into discussions, search the entire HN archive, and save articles for offline reading — all in a polished dark interface designed for focused reading. BROWSE YOUR WAY Switch between five feed categories — All, New, Show HN, Ask HN, and Jobs — to find exactly what interests you. A dedicated Top section surfaces the most popular and highest-quality stories of the moment. READ WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS Open any story in Reader mode for a clean, distraction-free article view extracted directly from the source page. Switch to Comments instantly with a sticky tab bar that stays accessible as you scroll — so you never lose your place. SEARCH THE FULL ARCHIVE Powered by Algolia, search across every story ever posted on Hacker News. Trending topics like AI, Rust, Startups, and Open Source are one tap away, and your recent searches are saved for quick access. JOIN THE CONVERSATION Read full threaded comment discussions on any story. See points, authors, timestamps, and discussion counts at a glance. Open stories directly on Hacker News or view linked articles in the built-in browser without leaving the app. SAVE FOR LATER Bookmark any story to build your personal reading list. Articles are automatically cached so you can read them offline anytime. Stories you've already read are visually distinguished so you always know where you left off. Swipe to remove when you're done.
