Show HN: A really addictive way to read /r/todayilearned

I really dislike how TIL is cramped with "stories". For example in your screenshots there is a story about two twins doing the same thing. Like it is interesting, but how is this a "fact" worth learning? It's the reason I unsubscribed from the subreddit. Just venting I guess.

The app looks nice although I haven't tried it. It's nice that you support lower versions of iOS (I'm using iOS 9).

The cards are kinda tall, seems like it would look kinda ugly on larger devices when there is a low amount of text.

I really like the concept. One small improvement I would recommend is to allow cards to be swiped in any direction, specifically up or down. Depending on how you are holding your device, it can feel more natural to swipe up to discard, for example.

Another great way to consume it (and this is what I do) is the todayilearned bot for telegram (https://t.me/todayilearned).

Not sure if it takes from /r/todayilearned though?

This is great. TIL notifications are my favorite thing about the Reddit app (right behind /r/explainlikeimfive). So my only suggestion is to add notifications for new, trending ones.

Oh, I had the same idea for a long time, but haven't ever came around making it real. Although I wanted to make it for android, not iOS.

Good luck with your app, guys.

The card swipe interaction isn't feeling good to me. Feels like it needs improvement. More than 50% of swipes don't work...

I loved the Reddit AMA app. I don't know why they decided to kill it. I would've liked your app on my Android device!

It’s pretty fun and I like it.

One issue: if I flick a card away very slowly, it’s pretty annoying how long it takes to float away.

I’d suggest a minimum velocity...

There is a web app for that? i don't like the reddit interface.
