Been using the web version for ages and just found out about the app. It's beautifully simple and does exactly what you expect. Love it, thanks :)

Tapping links does nothing here (Android 7. 1.2) according to the video it should open chrome custom tabs

There is a HackerWeb shortcut on the home screen of every device I own. I just noticed the React Native apps for Android & iOS. Excellent work!
