Show HN: Reader YC, an open source Hackernews client for BlackBerry 10

5 points by deft ↗ HN
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: https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/34175888/?countrycode=CA&countrycode=CA&lang=en

Code here (always looking for other contributors!): https://github.com/krruzic/Reader-YC/

Awesome, thanks for creating this. Having a BB10 usually means I'm SOL on apps, but this seems to take care of my HN need. I have to say it took me a few minutes to figure out how to read comments. I do a lot of lurking here and this is really handy to have. Thanks again.

Hey, glad you like it! With the comment thing, a few people have told me similar. I've thought of adding a tutorial or changing how you access them, but I'm not sure. A tutorial would probably be simplest but I'm not certain how needed it is. Again, thanks for the feedback!
