Show HN: A simple Hackernews client for iOS and Android

·February 7, 2025

We at Emerge Tools (YC W21) recently released open source Hacker News apps for both iOS and Android. The apps use the latest SwiftUI and Compose frameworks and are entirely native. Our goal is to help dogfood our products, but more importantly our team just enjoys reading HN every day and wanted an app to hack on and call our own. :)

We are still missing some features but should otherwise be pretty solid. And open to any contributions.

OT:

> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.

Your last submissions are all about emergetools

From the title, it took me a while from the description to understand what I'm looking at. The readme really needs some more info 1) targeted at end users of an app, possibly just a few screenshots will do, and 2) targeted at developers and the audience of emerge, e.g. concrete interactions that a dev of this app would have with emerge, also including a screenshot or two

I’m going to try it out. My first feedback is that links in text posts (like this very post) aren’t clickable and the <a href… tags show up as plaintext (iOS). Also it’s not possible to make new lines in comments on iOS? Also I can only see the comment I’m currently typing in a single line. Otherwise, the app looks nice!

I would love if there was a way to filter out posts by keyword, and maybe highlight posts by keyword too.
