    If you are using hacker news on mobile. I would recommend Glider. It’s a smooth hacker news client. Unfortunately, the dev had his app removed from the play store for reasons but you can access it from its github or fdroid.

        Play Store has strict rules for apps with user generated content. You have to provide ways to block and report users/content to stay on the play store. Glider didn’t provide a way to automatically report things by the user as hacker news doesn’t provide one. So, google suspended it. Here’s the github issue if you are interested: https://github.com/Mosc/Glider/issues/83

          Yeah I’ve seen a few things get messed up by that idiotic rule. When you euphemistically say “reasons” in italics, it sounds worse than it is. I assumed you were trying to gently tell people “Google suspended the dev for being racist” or something.

            It had been a while since i last remembered it, but i knew the reason was stupid. So, I had written reasons in italic. But, I guess that was up for open interpretation and that included questionable stuff.

      Love the app. Especially love the catch up feature. My only major problem with it is in a thread with lots of comments, tht don’t all load at once, and if you try to collapse a comment and scroll down, it goes crazy while it loads all the replies to the comment you collapsed, meaning I have to wait for all the comments to load before I can read anything.
