Show HN: My first app. An iOS client for Hacker News in Swift

9 points by nikant ↗ HN
I finally released my first iOS app following the excellent tips give on https://designcode.io/.I have open sourced the app https://github.com/NikantVohra/HackerNewsClient-iOS. I know there are lots of Hacker News Clients on App Store but I made this app just to learn something new and not with the motive of competing with anyone.I would love to get the feedback of the HN community on this app. The App store link for the app is https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hn-app/id983203003?ls=1&mt=8.

Actually some of the UI was designed by me but most of it was inspired by the app designed in the book. I do not have much experience in UI design. I learnt a lot from the book. Thanks for the appreciation :)

The HN app I previously used was rendered useless by not updating to the recent API. I was looking for a new HN app but couldn't find a decent one, despite the fact that there are so many. Your app looks really fresh, I'm looking forward to try it out when I go to the toilet :)

Ok tried it and I like the UI but there are some show stopping bugs for me. Top Stories and Recent Stories were empty. Also on my 5S the WebView is too large so I have to scroll to see the whole screen.
