Show HN: Hacker News - Front Page Reader Android App

7 pointsvladocar1 comment

Why another android HN app?

I simply wasn't happy with the current solutions, I wanted something simple that I can read the news from the front page.

The goal on this app is to improve the readability and ease the browsing of the links. Also readability.com web services are used like alternative for the external links.

Here some screenshots:

You can download this app for free here:

Technical stuff:

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PhoneGap is used for building this app. PT Serif (Google Fonts) font is used. JSONP from http://api.ihackernews.com/

What do you think? Suggestions?
