Cheers. A tweetie-esque HN app is a great idea. I'll gladly put down $5 to help keep a promising high-schooler motivated and building cool stuff. Shame on you guys for trying to pressure him to change his price.
And I like you're approach of "well it's $5 in the app store but here's the source if you want to build it, fork it, and/or install it yourself for free." Jason Fried would be proud of your pricing (ha!).
Keep building. Good luck.

And to follow up, really nice work. My favorite HN reader so far.
Comments:
- Would be nice to skip through the comments and go straight to the article
- $4.99 is the right price. I spent $2.99 on the "offline HN reader" and another one and this makes me regret ever buying those others.
Again to the price-haters: $5 a pop to help keep a hs kid from flipping burgers or mowing lawns this summer and keep him doing something that matters (and something he's shown to be pretty kickass at so early in his life)? Worth it.
