I'm coming from Octal and your app allows me to do more without resorting to the website, so thanks for that!

However, I think the screen layout of your app is not currently as clear as Octal.

  1. No item numbers so I don't know where I am in the list of items
  2. Text running to edge of display makes it less clear the title is wrapping
  3. Title being so bold seems extraneous as we can see from an item marked as read which is bold enough
  4. Favicons could display thumbnail from article and be twice as large
  5. Metadata could do with some separators or could use symbols to take up less space

+1 I’m also coming from Octal. These are all great suggestions that will make a dramatic impact on usability and accessibility. I’m happy to pitch in with the development and/or modest funding to help improve this, I really think this is very close to being the best HN client available. Well done and thanks to the author(s) either way!
