Hacky is a user-friendly Hacker News Reader for browsing Hacker News stories and comments.

Some of the features include: Bookmarks, Bookmark Folders, Bookmarks Search, Collapsible Comments, Color-based Comment Threads, Hold to Copy Comment Text, Light/Dark Theme

To celebrate Hacky paying for my Apple developer license for the year, I decided to make it free to download!

Thank you Hacker News community for the positive reviews and support! If there are any features you'd like to see implemented, please let me know! I want to make this the best Hacker News app out there. Enjoy!

Bookmarks feature is really nice!

It worked on my M1 Macbook.

Thanks! That's awesome! Haven't tried it on a M1 Macbook yet, but I bet it'd be fast.

bookmarks are not synced and stored anywhere. if you remove the app on ios, you can’t get them back.

Yes, currently bookmarks are local to the device. I'd like to update that in the future so they are synced and stored for safe keeping, but I'm not certain how I want to tackle that in react native yet. Any suggestions?
