Comment on Show HN: Boreal – A New iOS Client for Hacker News

Comments

Looks pretty good! Initial complaints:

- Text is way too small. Needs to be configurable.

- Not sure I like this font as a body text font, either. Can you make this an option?

- To get from the article view to the comments requires two clicks. Should only be one click.

- Byline text is hard to read, needs more contrast.

Thanks for your feedback. We are including some of this in our next version. So stay tuned!

Cool. Forgot one: Collapsing of comments. The client you need to beat, really, is MiniHack [1].
