You guys should check out HACK for HN , released in August - vs Materialistic which hasn't been touched in a long while.
- I'm missing a "jump back up" shortcut, something I'd recommend using capital "G" for, like in Vim.
- It seems it hits some hardcoded limit for paging? i.e. it does not allow me to open more stories once I reach the "bottom" one.
- Two things I'm used to that exist in the Android app I'm using: * stories are numbered, so I see how far from the top I am. It's a dimmed down grey number, but it's there and I like it. * depending on the number of comments, an article can be marked as hot with a "fire" emoji. I got used to that to immediately spot things which are trending.
Overall, well done! I am definitely subscribing, and I'll test if I can switch to it on Android.
