How do you consume HN?


For long I've used the Materialistic app on Android but it hasn't been updated in 2 years and has its glitches. I am looking at alternatives and any suggestions from other HN readers.

On iOS I’ve tried a bunch of apps and have finally settled on Hack [0] which is excellent.

Looks like there is an Android version too. [1]

Browser with some custom CSS and a JS script that filters blacklisted keywords and doesn't load new stories when I hide one, so most of the day there's only a story or two visible on the main page.

A little custom CSS to make it more readable: https://controlc.com/a60901b8

To be honest, browser or on Octal iOS, but I've heard a few good opinions on Boreal as well (I haven't tried it myself yet)

Just the browser. I’ve never seen an iOS HN reader app that add any interesting features.

Harmonic on Android is nice.

I just use the site in a browser, with no dedicated app.

I use my default browser. It works fine for me :-)
