The best way to read Hacker News

Introducing a free, open-source HN client designed to give you the best Hacker News experience. Developed by Emerge Tools (a Y Combinator company) in partnership with Supergooey. This app is a labor of love, crafted by a team with deep expertise in mobile app development.

Why choose this HN client?
• Native Android Experience: We believe in the power of native apps. Hacker News for Android is designed to offer a fast, smooth, and intuitive user experience that only a truly native app can provide.
• Open Source and Community-Driven: The app is completely open source, inviting developers to contribute, learn, and improve it together. We want to give back to the HN community, which has been instrumental in our growth.
• Performance & Efficiency: Leveraging Emerge’s newest tool, Reaper, we’ve optimized Hacker News for Android to be as lean as possible, stripping away unnecessary code and resources to deliver a fast, lightweight app.
• Dogfooding at its Best: We built this app to experience firsthand what our users do. By using Emerge’s own suite of mobile development tools, we’re constantly refining our product to make it better for everyone.

We welcome your feedback and contributions. Whether it’s a feature request, a bug report, or a new idea, your input helps shape the future of the app. 

And if you’re a developer, contribute to our open-source codebase on GitHub: https://github.com/EmergeTools/hackernews/tree/main/android
