Hacker News Reader

I just downloaded and played with it for about a minute. A couple thoughts:

- it’s fast & menus are very snappy - cookies and history don’t come over from safari: that would be a nice feature - tiny download

Nice work! Labors of love are great to see. Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to future updates

Thank you so much! It was also a labor of blood and sweat and tears but love overall :)

Migrating cookies and history from Safari does not seem to be technically possible on iOS for privacy reasons.

I find this restrictive behaviour frustrating with web views too.

Particularly when clicking links from social media apps and I’m unable to read content because I’m signed out of news sites.

I wish there was a permission that allowed transfer of cookies and local storage.

Keeping the restriction aside, you can still log into most websites even inside webviews.
