Ember, a native iOS Hacker News reader I built around accessibilityJun 2026 · github.com · ▲103I read HN on my phone every day and never really settled on a reader, so I wrote my own and finally tidied it up enough to put out there.

Here's a screenshot: https://github.com/haojiang99/hacker_news_reader/blob/main/s.... As a daily HN reader, I've always struggled with keeping track of interesting posts I want to read later. Browser tabs pile up, bookmarks get forgotten, and I lose track of what I've already read. I needed a way to: 1. Browse HN efficiently (across all sections - hot, new, show, ask, jobs, best) 2.
