App Description

Quickly and easily scan the top stories and their comments from Hacker News. Contains the first 10 pages of stories, and not just the front page.

Easily switch back and forth between the comments and the story, as well as a forward and back navigation from the article. Anyone who reads Hacker News knows that this is a greatly improved way of browsing the articles. You'll never have to worry about navigating back to the homepage or worry about finding the comments link for the article you just read.

App supports fast app switching so you can come back to where you left off, and includes a refresh button to get the latest stories.

Instapaper support included for those that use that for reading later.

You can also share stories via twitter and email from within the app.

Special thanks to Toto Tvalavadze for contributing code for the app.
