HackerNewt is a Hacker News client that uses an alternative way of displaying comment tree. Advantages over traditional interfaces:
- Comment width doesnt get narrower no matter how deep in the tree you are
- You always see the parent of the comment youre currently reading
- Swiping allows you to move in and out of subtrees with animated transitions that you fully control
- You can easily skip subtrees that dont interest you by simply scrolling
As a result its easier to maintain the context and to keep track of where you are in the Hacker News discussion tree. There are also: custom boards, search, in-thread search, anchors, reading list, recent items. Enjoy your Hacker News reading experience!
