Ask HN: Any Hacker News Android apps with intent filter to open HN urls?
Similar to many reddit apps, I'm looking for a Hacker News reader app for Android that supports deep-linking URL functionality (click on a http://news.ycombinator.com link and it opens in the app). None of the top apps on Google Play seem to have it. Might just have to write my own :)

There is at least one Android client that is open source: https://github.com/rickylaishram/Hacker-News-Android
If that doesn't do it, you can very easily modify it to work.
However, unless you are encountering a lot of HN questions or polls or other material that is original to HN on other aggregation sites, you really don't need a client that matches HN urls in an intent filter.

I follow Twitter and Facebook accounts that usually link to a story posted on HN as well as the link to the discussion page on news.ycombinator.com. Ideally I want to be able to open that directly in the app.
The HN site is unfortunately not readable on mobile devices.
