Best HN reader I've tried yet. Had one time where the app constantly crashed on launch, but was resolved by re-installing

I like this app but it has started crashing immediately every time it launches, so I am unable to use it.

Awesome! It would be cool to see the number of comments of each post next to its date too :D

I really like the feel of this app, and it's lightweight, however every time I open an article I get "Unable to load article", while the comments load fine. How can I make it work?

This app is lovely for browsing Hacker News. You can't submit or comment, but that's not a problem for me. The app itself is very easy to use, and it's beautiful! I would give it 5 stars if it had a night mode or dark theme.

Super clean, works perfectly, and is only the bare features for reading articles and threaded comments. Don't expect to post or vote, though.
