bobhak on HNThis is excellent! I've been using it all day. I do wish it was a bit denser (similar to Drudge Report), but the product is neat enough as is. Congrats!

Objections
Animated and auto-loaded images are distracting
From 3 comments
I liked this for two seconds; then all the pictures loaded in the browser window, and its usefulness to me plummeted. Similar to other commenters, I actually prefer text-only in…

Comment access from within the app
From 2 comments
I love it. Better UI in general. The only thing is how would I comment on a post? If it had that feature I would even maybe use this exclusively. You could maybe just redirect to…
AriyanWasi on HNDefinitely, comments are usually better than the article. I thought of a 'Letters to the Editors' section that shows top comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/bestcomments) and…

For the rest of the news in a more HN-like format (at least at the top level) you might like https://lite.cnn.com/
SoftTalker on HNhttps://text.npr.org is also a text only version of npr
