Don't get me wrong, God speed to you on your development. I'm sure you aren't alone in the app pref.

I understand your sentiment but I thought exactly the opposite way when I decided to build the app. I thought: "Man, this site is cool! And it's so simple that I could adapt the code for my Hacker News reader to work with it!".

Of course one could argue: "Why on earth did you need a Hacker News app? It's so simple...". And for that, my friend, I don't know the answer. I just did hahah

Yeah I get that but some things are so simple that they don't need an app. SN is kinda on the line for me. Its like the perfect case for a PWA

I like (good) native apps and I always use them when I have the option. They are usually a lot faster and smoother on my devices (a couple of old Android phones, many old but usable thinkpads and desktops).

Ask SN: Anyone interested in funding the development of the unofficial SN app?

Honestly I don't get the desire to have a native app. Is this really needed by many people? Just my two sats
