## What is RCD HN Reader?

HN Reader is a fast, private, ad-free way to read Hacker News on your iPhone.

Browse the front page, dive into discussions, and read the linked articles in a
clean reader mode that strips away clutter — all in a lightweight native app.

FEATURES
• Front page, plus Ask HN, Show HN, New, and Jobs
• Reader mode that extracts the article text for distraction-free reading
• Comment threads shown in the correct Hacker News order, with collapsible replies
• Block any author with a tap — their stories are hidden and comments read “[blocked]”
• Light and dark themes, custom fonts, adjustable text size, and a pickable accent color
• Offline caching of recently loaded stories
• No account, no analytics, no tracking — your settings stay on your device

HN Reader is an independent client. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by
Y Combinator or Hacker News, and displays content from the official public
Hacker News APIs.
