Reader YC, an open source Hackernews client for BlackBerry 10
Just a small project I've been working on for the past few months. It has full read support (ask HN, best, comments) as well as search and the ability to post comments. Posting stories and Share Invocation are on the way with the next update. It's built using Python and qml, with the BlackBerry-py project Python entry point (https://bitbucket.org/microcode/blackberry-py) providing access to the builtin python interpreter on BB10. The app is completely free, and can be found here on BlackBerry World:…

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. It's plain SwiftUI with no third-party dependencies. A few things I spent the most time on: Comments are parsed and drawn as native text instead of being dumped into a web view. Links, italics, quotes and code blocks behave like the rest of the OS, text selection works, and threads collapse instantly.

That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
