Thanks a lot georgerobinson! We are really really happy that we are able to make your HN experience an awesome one - I can assure you that the PRO version definitely has more to come :)

We will look into the font changing, it will be on our list.

Thanks again!

We are taking the reading experience very seriously and thus, dynamic type is definitely in the pipeline.

As for higher contrast theme, one of the theme in Pro version (the Robin) is specifically made for that people who prefer high contrast reading experience.

Definitely give it a try and let us know what you think :)

Not yet in our 1.0 (which is our MVP), but I can assure you it is in the pipeline :)

Thanks for your love towards the Akepa logo ;)

I will see if I can do some write ups on the design process for the app, which can be interesting (or boring) I think.

But hey, thanks again!

Nah, you are not blind, I can't figure that out either. we will put the suggested feature (share to chrome) in the list, if it's not too tricky, likely it will be there in the next version since it's something affecting the HN consumption experience :)

Trust me (and us), we wanted to make the best HN reading experience on Android devices as well, but we are totally short of hands, therefore iOS for now.

Hey,

Thanks for the report! We are going for a quick fix now, something on the validation server :P

Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the offer! Appreciate that :)

Indeed, with the resources available online, it's totally possible to learn new skills if I spend some time on them.

That's what I thought too - that's why I am just curious if there is any great example that founded only by one designer founder, though I totally understand the importance of having a co-founder with strong technical background.

Yeah, I know what you mean - deep inside I truly believe I have both, but yeah, haven't been tested so far.

Hey,

Akepa designer here. Thanks a lot! We did put in quite some effort to ensure the 1.0 is polished enough to give the best reading experience that we wanted to deliver - it seems that we are able to put smile on some faces, which is pretty awesome!

Thanks for the suggestion - we will put the 'yesterday's best' page in the feature request list for prioritisation (I can assure you there are tons of interesting features planned for the next few releases). As for readability mode by default, sure thing! That's something we wanted to do but we decided to leave it out from our MVP, so yeah, upcoming release should have it.

We are a team of 5, and we roughly spent about 4 months for project planning, design and development.

Don't hesitate to let us know if you have some idea how we can further improve the HN experience :)
