Show HN: I made an open source iOS HN reader

5 pointsby chubs15 yıl önce2 comments

Hi all, i made an iOS HN reader, so i can read HN nicely on my iphone while pushing my daughter on the swing (she likes going on the swing for a good hour on saturdays... go figure). Anyway i figured i'd open source it and show it here:

https://github.com/chrishulbert/HackerNewsReader

And its on the app store if you couldn't be bothered firing up xcode:

Anyway, hopefully someone out there can learn something looking at the code. There seems to be a dearth of example code / foss code from actual proper apps out there. Have a nice weekend all!

This looks awesome. As somebody who has considered getting into iOS programming, but hasn't taken the dive yet (more focused on ruby based websites / mobile websites right now), thanks for making it open source.

You're welcome - i really hope you get something out of reading through the source. I used to be a ruby guy before this too, so i think you should find the transition not too difficult. Good luck.
