Great app, I use it all the time, but I do have a suggestion - under groups, the “read” section takes too long to load, particularly if you have over 1000 to 2000 previously read articles. It’ll be nice if this section could only load the last 10 to 20 articles that have been read, with a button to load more if necessary. When you open and switch to another app, the Hacker News will reset, and sometimes you lose track of where you were you were. The “read” section is a good way to quickly get back to what you were looking at, but again the issue is that it will take at times 30 seconds to a minute to load.
Regardless whether this app is set to use Safari or In-App Safari it opens articles in In-App Safari, which is a bit annoying since In-App Safari doesn’t allow certain extensions nor does it add to my browser history. Would also be nice if it supported other browsers. I’m posting here because support is through Twitter which I don’t use.
I have used a lot of HN apps and I feel like this one might stick .. it has all the things I look for - no ads - fast read/ summarize options .. only thing that lacks is login option
