Comment on An iPhone interface for Hacker News

Comments

Please let me know if you like it! I presume quite a few hackers out here are like me constantly checking hacker news on their iPhones while they are out. The pinching and zooming is great, but it gets tiring after a while; so I figured I should do something about it. Given that Buxfer already had a good iPhone interface, it did not take that much time to build it.

Of course, this is unofficial. Hopefully, PG won't have a problem with it since it does not create any additional requests for the HN server; just routes request through Buxfer.

I like it.

How do you build your web iPhone interfaces? A custom "framework" or leveraging an open source project?

Do you plan on building a Buxfer native app?

I like it, but comment replying isn't working ("A network error occurred. Please refresh before continuing.").

The only thing I would suggest is that you make the hot spot on the comment smaller (only the top, maybe), because when I drag my finger, it keeps clicking the comments.

Just fixed that error. Replying should work now...

I will keep thinking about the reply "hot spot"...
