Materialistic – Ad free, open source Hacker News client

While I think it's the best of what's available, it still misses some features. No downvoting, no flagging, preformatted text gets mangled, and the own comments/conversations view is not ideal.

It's so close...

I plan to implement downvoting but I'm not sure of the logic involved (I don't have enough karma to test it myself). Probably I'll add it to a beta channel and let users help test it.

Performance can be laggy and is something I'm trying to improve.

Up/down voting works the same. It's just the "how=" parameter that changes from "up" to "down".

There's also a "/flag" call with only "id" and "auth" to flag comments / articles. (with "un=t" it unflags) The link says "flag" or "unflag".

It's also worth noting that some comments cannot be downvoted.

How do you handle up voting, does the api allow it?

No, I have to chain requests, using cookies.

Also a option to download all comments, rather than have it download as i scroll.

I'd love to be able to long press links (any link) to be able to view/copy/share them.

Yeah, but it allows me to reply, so it's already better than all the other clients I've tried. Good job!

I don't like how sparse material design is, but oh well.
