I intended to build a nostr client
IMO stacker news counts as a nostr client. I only have two criteria:
(1) can your software post to nostr relays? (yes -- this is an option in stacker news settings) (2) can it read posts from other nostr clients? (yes -- stacker news displays zap messages created by other nostr clients)
It isn't a "full featured" client yet, mostly due to ignoring all "normal" replies to your nostr posts*, but it has enough features to count as a basic client by my definition.
*stacker news, as currently built, only shows replies created on stacker news itself. Replies created on nostr are ignored, and I think this is because they don't currently pay the one sat "fee" stacker news requires. If I were k00b, I wouldn't want to give nostr users a workaround that lets them post on stacker news for free when regular users have to pay

Well said: however, it will be nice if on top of cross-post > post > to NIP-23 we could also have a:
  • comment > to NIP-01 and
  • poll > to NIP-41 and
  • ad-post > to NIP-99
in the settings page

Um, these are Nostr accounts nor can the content here be read by nostr clients. Calling this a Nostr client is stretching it a bit...

You can log in with nostr

It can. If you enable cross posting to nostr in settings, nostr clients can read your stacker news posts
