Hacker News Reader

It's doing a fine job replacing Google Reader for me (I was otherwise going to use Feedly, who require me to learn a different UI).

Are you already using your own backend? It seems so, since it's showing me different articles and not sync read status from Google Reader (which seems to show new content sooner).

What's the meaning of the orange circle empty/filled?

Yep, I'm using a backend I've written for the application. An API will be released soon, as well. Orange circle empty == read, filled in == unread.

thanks; thought it might be that, but it wasn't updating immediately for me. pref for page-through without reading to bottom = read?

also, i can't figure out how to add a new or existing feed to a folder. the tags i had from google reader are still there.
