Hey HN! I'm the developer of one of the most popular Android clients for HN, Harmonic for Hacker News. Over the years I have recieved many requests to open source the app which I am finally doing - sorry about taking so long :) Having been very busy working on my PhD during the last two years - Harmonic has not recieved the attention it deserves. I therefore hope that open sourcing it can give it a new lease on life. I also hope that by posting here many of the nice people who have reached out to me will notice that the app is finally open source. I'm also happy to answer questions about the app but cannot make any hard promises about future features. (As a note; I wouldn't call the architecture of the app a beauty by any means - it is very much cobbled together using my (somewhat outdated) knowledge about Android development.) -- Simon
