Haven't tried it, but from the screenshots, it seems you need to open the url in the browser.

If your goal is so the app allows users a quick view of the stories, having a built in viewer would be nice. Personally I hate switching between apps a lot, and I'm guessing using this would mean - Open story; Switch to Safari to read story; Switch back to Hacky to see next story which if you read more than 1-2 articles would get boring quickly. Just an idea for a future version.

Aside from that, good luck and good job.

Opposite viewpoint: my browser has much more functionality than any embedded browser-view could ever deliver (save to kippt, send to instapaper etc).

So I guess this should really be an option (the classic "do you want an external browser? If yes, which browser?" kinda thing).
