What's New in Hackery

2.1

October 29, 2026

Hackery is ready for iPhone Duo. • Open it up and read side by side: the story list moves to the right while the article or its comments fill the rest of the display. • Fold it partway like a book and each side gets its own half of the display. • Stand it up folded like a laptop and the story sits above the hinge, with the list below and within easy reach. • Close it and the list carries straight over to the outer display, right where you left it. • Refresh and the Article/Comments switch sit in the side bar beside the status bar. Also new: • A fresh app icon. • Brighter story cards. • A cleaner Top Stories widget, with better spacing for longer headlines.
