Show HN: Hacker News Reader App

Hi everyone big HN fan here ... so big, that I always wanted a better UI on mobile (and desktop). So since none of the existing apps satisfied my taste, I setout to do the only reasonable thing: program an app myself.

It's made in flutter + serverpod (so all Dart) and therefore comes in iOS, Android, Web (future Linux, Mac, Windows)

Yes, it has all the boring parts: list feeds, read and comment articles, ...

More exciting parts:

- swipe list items for faster actions (fav, upvote)

- customize feed (pure list, preview image, newspaper style)

- Customize click actions (open URL, open comment)

- highlight OP comments.

- collapsable comment threads.

The every exciting parts:

- Offline reading / caching

- Notifications about high-score/interesting/most-commented items.

and

- AI summary, summaries the article as a bulletin

Wanna try out the app (as PWA) before downloading ==> https://app.hn-reader.com

And yes, I'll be in the comments for questions
