{"appstoreID":1084209377,"title":"HackerWeb - Hacker News client","subtitle":"Read-only Hacker News client","developerName":"Chee Aun Lim","description":"HackerWeb is a super-clean Hacker News app built for maximum readability and has a lean set of features to optimize the reading experience.\n\nIt’s created specifically with iOS design guidelines in mind, so it feels native and blends well with the operating system.\n\nIt has a simple set of features that are usually invisible:\n\n- Dual Web and Comments tabs for easy switching between the story’s web page and the list of comments\n- Revolutionary comments thread UI for easy navigation, with smart collapsing to prevent being overwhelmed by too many comments\n- Automatic Dark mode, respecting the system’s appearance settings.\n- Smart indentations and formatting for comments, complementing the existing limited formatting from Hacker News.\n- Automatic syntax highlighting for code blocks in comments, with best-effort programming language detection.\n- Allow interactions like upvoting and replying, which opens up web view with login information and sessions stored in itself, instead of the app.\n- Comment’s “Thread view” to list all parent comments of a comment, on a flat list, for easy reading instead of manually drilling down the nested comments.\n- “Share as Image” for comments, which allows sharing of a specific comment, optionally including the parent comments and/or story, as an image.\n\nHackerWeb is an unofficial Hacker News client, built with React Native and Expo.\n\nThis is a passion side project for learning and experimenting ideas. Since 2012.\n\nOpen-sourced: https://github.com/cheeaun/hackerweb-native-2","bundleID":"cheeaun.hackerweb","appiconURL":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/ed/49/bb/ed49bb9b-dde5-9e78-3168-13399b653ca4/Placeholder.mill/1024x1024w.webp","formattedPrice":"$2.99","appUpdated":"2025-12-02T21:44:26.000Z","appReleased":"2016-03-01T04:34:50.000Z","version":"3.0.1","platforms":["iphone","ipad"],"minOS":{"iphone":"Requires iOS 26.0 or later.","ipad":"Requires iPadOS 26.0 or later.","mac":"Requires macOS 12.0 or later and a Mac with Apple M1 chip or later.","vision":"Requires visionOS 26.0 or later."},"languages":["EN"],"size":"28.7 MB","category":"News","developerWebsite":"https://hackerwebapp.com/","screenshots":[{"platform":"ipad","url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/93/a2/df/93a2df40-32a0-54c6-00af-e4e9cb0802aa/Simulator_Screenshot_-_iPad_Air_13-inch__U0028M3_U0029_-_2025-11-17_at_17.24.19.png/2048x2732w.webp"},{"platform":"ipad","url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/3b/42/dc/3b42dcd1-a6f2-b484-e365-3bc75938cc51/Simulator_Screenshot_-_iPad_Air_13-inch__U0028M3_U0029_-_2025-11-17_at_17.24.25.png/2048x2732w.webp"},{"platform":"iphone","url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/32/d8/e1/32d8e1b2-8066-a75d-2fda-d7a3e7502b34/hw-iphone-1.jpg/1242x2688w.webp"},{"platform":"iphone","url":"https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/5c/dd/01/5cdd0172-e668-63ed-e64d-6879b9bc7502/hw-iphone-2.jpg/1242x2688w.webp"}]}
