Hacker News Reader

I've yet to find a _better_ HN UI. All the ones I've tried so far (including this one and the one reustle mentioned) don't add any benefit to me over just using vanilla HN. They are also, in my experience, much slower than HN.

This one makes bad use of space IMHO and, much more importantly, has terrible contrast on basically all elements. Makes it incredibly hard to read for me.

This (1) is my goto alternative. Mostly because it's easier to go through comments. The author has a react native app in the iOS store.

Thanks for sharing, that is actually not at all bad. At least on mobile, that's more pleasant than HN for me!

You can change the default orange accent color to any color. its under settings > appearance.

YC will always be faster than 3rd party app, as 3rd party relies on firebase API. Firebase API is very slow.

The orange isn't the problem. It's the contrast on the text that's the problem. I tried to play with the settings but the contrast remains bad no matter what. The dark theme doesn't help. Essentially the text colour is much too close to the background colour making it incredibly difficult to read for anyone with a bad monitor or with bad eyesight.
