eduardn··on Show HN: Hacker News reader for Android
I am pretty sure you did not read the intro carefully :)

The app posted there is not mine, it's one that I've used but wasn't good for me anymore so I decided to build my own.

There is a difference between them, actually. The one at the top is "up" and the one at the bottom is "back".

For example if you have a list of items and you click on one, then on that item you have related items and you click on one, the up button will take you to list where as the back button will take you to the previous item.

And you're right, you can not hide the taskbar.

Thanks!

1. At the time, sharing seemed like a more important action than comments, but I guess I was wrong. Will switch sharing with comments in a future update :)

3. I will work on the comments design in the next update, I too am not pleased with the current solution.

4. Do you think that would be helpful? Is there a reason you want a domain hint?

There is a screenshot with comments (last picture), but thanks for the feedback :)

Some time ago I started to build a simple and clean Hacker News reader for Android because I find the current solutions kind of messy. I've used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn for a while, because it was really clean, but the sharing functionality didn't work as I expected so I started looking for alternatives but ended up building my own.

It still misses some things (like collapsible comments) but I'm working on them. Let me know what you think and what would you like to see in a hacker news reader application.
