Looks really clean and nice. Great stuff.

How do you plan to monetize it? It says "in app purchases" but couldn't spot any paid-for options.

A few small comments:

* The login option is slightly confusing, because it has a big Boreal on top. Am I logging in / creating an account for Boreal or HN ?

* On the announcement blog post you have a typo "So, what do you l[o]ose trying it?", and I think you should anyway say "What do you have to lose by trying it?" (I'm not a native English speaker though).

* I wish there was a way to jump straight into the comments. It's not uncommon for me (and I believe others) to start off by reading the comments, and only then the article.

+1. Thats usually how I know whether the title's claims are valid or not


Thanks for your feedback! We already implemented a new way for navigating into comments in the next version. The next version will be a big update with a ton of new features and is coming next week!


I still can't figure out how to get to comments at all. What am I missing?


Open a post and touch the button located at the top right corner. It will open the possible actions, there is one which says "comments"


Ah I see, I had to have it in "open in Boreal browser" I guess -- originally had it in Safari, then in the in-app viewer, and didn't see that available. Ok.

Is there a way to up/downvote comments?

I've been looking for a new iOS HN app, and I do like the design of this, might just need some getting used to and a couple of minor additions. Great job!


Upvoting and downvoting comments are coming in a future version.
