Also on the iPad, the two column view is nice too
It doesn’t need one, but now the option is there.

When I played around with making a client, I found the best approach was to only load the first level of comments, and asynchronously fetch children inside DisclosureGroups on appear.
Then I realized the only reason I was making an HN app was so it didn’t blind me at night, and then I realized Lobsters has all the same stories as this place but lets me filter out vibe coding articles, and I just gave up.
Would absolutely love it if the text could be made bigger (both for reading and commenting)!
By the way, this reply was posted using the HackerNows app itself :-)

Native dynamic fonts works, but i will add an in app option to change font size
At least, that's what claude would suggest doing.
That's a two step process currently when you are just going through the comments you click "root" on any sub-root-comment and then "next" on the root comment. Next will always take you to the next sibling comment (called a sibling, because it's a tree data-structure basically and sibling comes from a family tree. In fact where I said sub-root-comment I could have said descendants or children.)
EDIT: I just realized that the first child of the root doesn't have the "root" button so you have to click "parent" on it and then "next".
