Show HN: I made an iOS HN app to navigate large threads without getting lost
Thanks!
> I can't tell what the hashtag button is for
It's demonstrated in the guide [1]
I have to think about how to explain the feature in the app without overwhelming the user. Always open to suggestions!
> The numbers in the lower right corner of each stack seem like they refer to the number of sub-comments, but in my brief experience this doesn't seem to be the case. Is this a bug, of have I misunderstood what these numbers refer to?
It's the total number of comments in the subtree (including all the child subtrees and their subtrees and so on).
> I'd prefer to be able to tap a comment stack and have it open up. I get that swiping isn't that hard, but I typically one-hand and would prefer if mere tapping did the same thing as swiping (and I can't think of what else a tap would mean, so it shouldn't cause a conflict to have this as an option, right?)
I think it could be a frustrating experience when you mistap upvote or any other button, expanding/collapsing the stack instead. I will try it to see how it feels, it just might be one of those things that look good only on paper, and once implemented it'll be just an extra option that everybody ignores. There's also a good argument for that - accessibility [2], but there are alternatives for the tap gesture.
> I would suggest adding Settings to this menu, as an alternate way of reaching it.
I figured that on average users go to settings only a few times, mostly when they initially set up the app. Adding an entry point on the thread screen would increase the complexity, support and testing efforts, but further down the road when other things are ironed out it can be a good improvement.

Hacker News personal ranking app
The linked repo requires manual ratings. There's a way to grab your upvoted posts programatically, but it requires scraping, which can get your IP banned if done incorrectly. There doesn't seem to be an endpoint for access to private HN data.
Here's a recent example of an implementation of the scraping method: https://github.com/davenicoll/hackernews-to-raindrop/blob/ma...
