What is HackerNewt?

HackerNewt is a Hacker News client that uses an alternative way of displaying comment tree. Advantages over traditional interfaces:

  • Comment width doesn't get narrower no matter how deep in the tree you are
  • You always see the parent of the comment you're currently reading
  • Swiping allows you to move in and out of subtrees with animated transitions that you fully control
  • You can easily skip subtrees that don't interest you by simply scrolling

As a result it's easier to maintain the context and to keep track of where you are in the Hacker News discussion tree. There are also: custom boards, search, in-thread search, anchors, reading list, recent items. Enjoy your Hacker News reading experience!
