In the next version (1.1) coming in about a week we are going to include:

-Quick access to comments from the main feed
-Quick upvoting for posts from the main feed
-Switch to auto-delete posts viewed and only show them in the "Viewed" tab
-Collapse comments
-LogIn improvements

-Follow users to receive push notifications when they post something
Version 1.2 (some more weeks):
-Dynamic text: adjust text size as you want
-Different fonts: we will add in addition to the current Avenir, Open Sans, Proxima Nova and Helvetica Neue
Stay tuned for more updates! As we said, Boreal is a client build from users FOR users.
Comments
The app looks great, though have a few comments:
* It doesn't feel like HackersNews. I think you should follow some of the elements from the web app (Orange colour, HN logo etc)
* I wasn't comfortable providing login credentials. How are you handling login / storing my details?
* I'd like to see more posts per page. Feels harder to scan read the posts than on the current HN site
* Filter in top right looks like a location / near me icon. Didn't expect it to display filter options
* How do I see my profile? I'm logged in, but no indication that I am
* Having to click on comments to see 'no comments' feels odd
* The number of upvotes / comments per post is important, feels very buried (couldn't find upvotes)
Hey, thanks for your attention and feedback :)
