## What is stdout.?

stdout. is a native iOS client for Hacker News, built from the ground up with SwiftUI. It goes far beyond content aggregation — offering a rich, interactive experience designed around how you actually read.

  DUAL THEMES
  Switch between two handcrafted visual modes. Zen offers warm, editorial typography with Georgia serif
  headlines. Terminal transforms the app into a retro green-on-black CRT aesthetic, complete with
  monospaced type and animated scanlines.

  OFFLINE-FIRST WITH SWIFTDATA
  Stories and comments are cached locally so the app loads instantly on launch. When your connection drops,
   you keep reading seamlessly with a subtle offline indicator.

  HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
  Add a Top Stories widget to your home screen in Small or Medium size. The widget updates every 30 minutes
   and matches your in-app theme. Tap any story to jump straight to it.

  NATIVE INTERACTIONS
  Long-press any story to save it to Favorites, share the link, or hide it from your feed. Pull-to-refresh
  and save actions are accompanied by haptic feedback for a tactile, responsive feel.

  IN-APP READING
  Story links open in a themed Safari View Controller with optional Reader Mode — no context switching to
  external apps.
