I like this new client! Good work. It's refreshing to see an HN client with a 2014 era UI. I also love that it's Open Source.
Couple of items of feedback for you.
#1 Please make the top off-white colour bar go away; it's jarring on an otherwise all-white background. The most tasteful looking iOS 7 / 8 era apps I enjoy are the ones that make the iOS info bar blend with the rest of the screen real estate.
#2 Once inside an article, the black back circle isn't very pretty, or easy to hit. This needs some work since it just looks a little overlaid and unpleasant. I don't have any meaningful suggestions, but I'd suggest this needs some rethinking.
#1 Do you mean the status bar? I could easily remove it, but don't you like to know what time it is? Removing the status bar could be an option in settings in the next release.
#2 I will give this suggestion a thought. Now you can go back to the previous view by swiping right. So theoretically the back arrow could be hidden too.
Heh - yes - the status bar. I don't mind it being there, in fact it should be. But on my iPhone 5 it renders in some shade of eggshell when the rest of the interface is white. In my humble opinion, it should be the same colour as the rest of the UI.

All in all, I love it! Thank you.
