I tried to install this by searching for "HackNews" in the Play Store, however it doesn't appear in the search results. Any idea why?

As a side note: WOW, I didn't realise there were that many Hacker News clients on the Play Store. Is this the TodoMVC of app programming?

The app itself is pretty neat, but I was a little put off by the advertising. With so many free alternatives in this space I'm not sure you'll be able to sell many pro upgrades.

Personally, I mostly use Hacker News in the browser these days because it is a responsive website since a while.

The search results take some time, since it's just launched.

It also hurts me badly to see advertising ruin my design, but I got to make some money to show my parents that this thing makes money

Thanks for trying this out :D

Here's the PlayStore Link

I was seriously tempted to switch to launchaco for landing pages, but $50/year (while on BETA), this is what worries me. I don't want to make 3-4 landing pages for the products I work on, then a year later on they are going to increase the price 2-4 times more.

Can’t you download and host them yourself anymore when you pay the $50/year fee?

You can indeed download the websites and host them yourself :)

Yeah, but I think that is the only viable buisness model for them

I love your hustle. Your hustle is good. Also, your copy is inspiring. But sorry I got no money, heh.

Me too :D
