Warning: There's ads :(

Hey michael, thanks for checking it out :) Developing Yarn took a lot of time and effort and advertising is a small way to make up for that. Hopefully the quality and features make it worthwhile

Any chance of adding a donate button to remove ads?

The UI is very reminiscent if Reddit Sync. Looks like I have found my new HN app.

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that :)

Really nice! I like the fact that I can access all sections i.e. new, ask, show, etc.

Nit: I often get "Story type not supported" when tapping on posts.

Any plan to open source it or some parts?

Thats very strange. In theory it should support everything that isnt a poll. If possible, I'd very much appreciate you linking me to any posts that dont work for you so that I can test and fix it.

I'm not planning on open sourcing it at this point in time, but I'll probably do a blog post at some point discussing the most interesting aspects

This is brilliant. Did you use the Google Material Design default skin?
