A great app and great support!
Recently, there was an unintentional bug that popped up due to something that changed on HN’s side. Pram, the developer was quick to respond and got the patch out quickly. Loved his dedication and effort to keep this app top notch.

Nov 10 edit: glad the update fixed the bug! Nov 8: Comments not showing was due to a change to the hacker news website. I released a fix late last night. Please update to version 187 for the fix. If it helps, hope you update your review. Feel free to email me if you have any problems: pran@pranapps.com
Practically perfect
Best HN reader!
Better than the actual website
Can’t open comments section
Great app, but please stop the begging!
Please stop the begging!

Hi, the tips option was originally added per user request. The reason was that the one-time purchase gives the features for life. However, many users also believe in supporting regular updates via small tips. Many times, I receive emails from users requesting certain features and I try to add them quickly. Users appreciate my personalized email replies, my responsiveness to adding and discussing features, and support me via tips. The app also has a monthly server cost for delivering push notifications and favicon images and annual developer membership fees. Most apps would use subscriptions or ads to pay for these monthly costs. I understand most users don't like subscriptions or ads, so I don't use those. Instead, I have the tips option hoping some users would throw in a few extra dollars to help me pay for that. The prompt asking for tips only shows when the app has a significant update. You can use the "Don't show what's new" button to disable that popup which prompts for tips. Hope this answers your query. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions: pran@pranapps.com
Excellent HN experience

Response from developer
Thank you!!
Awesome app
you will not regret buying this app!
I can say the following:
(1) this is a very useful app, if you do not consider your MacBookPro or whatever computer you have, so kind of wondorous toy bursting with surprises; in other words, if you know really nothing of programming, this is **not** for you. Otherwise, **very much so!**
(2) the developer uses a business plan assuming general decency, both from the side of the developer community, and the user community; in the case of the present application, we are talking anyway of the intersection of the above two community.
Decency cannot be assumed these days lightly, so exercising this (this time as a user), is a sane way to imagine other alternatives for the future, than always the worst.
(consider the disclaimer above)
Please, do support this developer, for our own common sake.
