The website is a masterclass in minimalist, utilitarian design. I just use that.

I use Harmonic, pretty comfy

Not an app, but for the ones interested in following specific hacker news posts, there's the unofficial Hacker News RSS feeds.

I use Materialistic currently.

My only complaint is that you can't edit comments you've recently made from the app, you gotta go on the website.

I used to be, but for me it's no longer available from the app store. Is it geolocked these days?

[โ€“] BlueAure@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think so. It might have been delisted as I don't see it either. Regardless, it's OSS so you can get it from the GitHub repo. https://github.com/hidroh/materialistic

It's really a personal preference. Try them and see which one fits you the best.

Hacki is pretty good.

I use fdroid apps whenever possible... This was the only one on fdroid as of a few months ago.

Without a doubt Glider

Glider works for me

I love the weird fast-scrolling button in Hews.

[โ€“] sndrtj@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

I use Hews2.
