I bought it from the iTunes store directly, after seeing the post and reading the comments (specifically, $5 isn't much to support a fellow indie-dev trying to make his way through the app store, for an app that I'll probably use every dayish). Next time I was out, had my phone, and was bored, I looked for the $5 app, because it had to be yours. It's really well put together, and I really like the features you added. My only complaint is that it goes to comments first, not stories first, but that's easy to get used to.

I think a lot of Hacker News readers actually look at the comments first. I remember people mentioning that on HN and I know my wife and I usually do, presumably so does the app's developer.
Spot on. I often use the comments to quickly judge if a link is worth visiting. If so, I click through and then come back for more conversation if I'm still interested.

I think showing comments first was a great design decision.
