Just downloaded it. A couple of suggestions:

- The design could use some tweaks. (Poor icons in the home screen, not vertically aligned title bar text, ugly "comments" title bar that scrolls with you, inconsistent orange color (click a link and you see the bottom bar is a different color to the top bar), puke color in the "pull to refresh", has a very non-native feel with the custom list view, awkward arrow that is low res in pull to refresh)

- No comment indentation so everything is difficult to follow in the comments

- No ability to login and comment?

- Awkward click regions on the list view. It should only allow you to press on one or two buttons, but instead I can press on the timestamp, the comments, the title or the background. It should be clearer

It's really quick, though, and that's lovely. Keep at it!

Well..You do have an eye for detail.The title bar text is not vertically aligned indeed and I have missed it.

Login and comment will take some time, but I will try and see what I can do about the colors (especially the puke color on the drag refresh header!).

Thanks for the feedback!.Also please do check it out on the iPad.Thats where I have spent a lot of time.

That's a good start and i like the UI. I had some issues on the iPad 2 where transitions weren't really smooth but kind of laggy. The comments could be better arranged (some kind of tree were not only the top-level comments are different). Ashamedlion does have a point about the weird colours and the few refinements. Still the best hacker news app i have tried and will be looking forward for updates. Keep up the good work!

Thanks!.For the comments I am going to draw the table separator in a way such that it shows the depth of the comment below it.I dont want to waste space on such a small screen.

I can't seem to comment or upvote in your app. Without that, it has little value to me. Apart from that, it is quite good!

Or am I overlooking something?

At the moment those features are not available.But they are next on my list and I will be pushing them soon.

To be honest I cant seem to make up my mind on a good user interface for upvoting and commenting on a mobile device.

Is this open source? I'd love to implement some of the changes mentioned above.

Sorry as of now I have decided against open sourcing the main project.But I might decide to do it in the future.

However HackerNode is built on top of another library called three20 which I have forked and I have open sourced my fork at https://github.com/nodemaker/three20
