Reviews of Starling for HN

  • Comment crash

    It crashes every time I post a comment, but the comment does submit successfully so it does “work”.
  • Crashes on each comment and lacks support

    I have been using this app for a few months. In general it’s a good app and most stories from HN can be read. Some stories, however, never load the comments. The app also seems to crash every time I try to submit a comment. Whether the comment actually posts is hit or miss. I made the mistake of writing out a 4-5 paragraph comment, only to have it crash and all the text disappear into the ether. My fault for not selecting all and copying before each comment attempt I suppose. Prior to submitting this review, I clicked on the “App support” link so I could report it to the app author, but it just returned a 404 from GitHub. So it seems like this is just a side project with little active development.
  • Only a few improvements

    Upvoting-downvoting comments and exporting the bookmarks list (to JSON or CSV) is all I need to make this five stars. Hands down beats pretty much every other HN client on the App Store.
