I really enjoy the app so far, very clean and simple user interface. The dev seems to read comments, so hopefully this gets seen: the ">" character for block quotes in markdown does not seem to be correctly rendered in comments. It is italicized, but not formatted in any other way. Normally markdown renderers I see will parse out the character and put it in a box or similar.

The reason for this is that HN delivers comments as HTML instead of markdown and doesn't use the
tag for blockquotes. Since comments on the HN website are rendered with a '>' and no additional standard blockquote styling I think the app is going to stick to that same convention.

Would be the best Hacker News client available if the font size could be made bigger. there is a setting but it doesn't let you increase it enough. the app seems designed for 20 somethings with perfect vision

There is a setting for this for the comments, otherwise it should respect your phone's settings.

Excellent app, thanks a lot Simon et al! You should add a donation button somewhere, I'm pretty sure people would like to send you coffee money from time to time.
