I’ve been a daily HN reader for the past few years, and it’s usually the first place I go when I have a few spare minutes while commuting or wating.
I tried a lot of existing Android HN readers, but none of them quite fit what I wanted: Something more akin to reddit or medium
The main things I wanted were:
- comment threads that start collapsed, so I can expand only the discussions I’m interested in - reading history, so I can find stories I read but forgot to save - bookmarks for both stories and comments - custom lists for organizing bookmarks by topic - the ability to upvote, comment, and submit stories - no ads, no subscriptions and many other features which I would let the app speak for itself.
HackerFlow is written natively for Android using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
You can use it without logging in, but login is needed for upvoting, commenting, and submitting stories.
I am available here for any questions and feedback to make the app better!
