Great, thanks for the replies.

Regarding the settings, you're right that many users would only go there once; however, it's likely they would go looking for settings once they're already in a comment thread (or at least I was!).

I agree that mis-tapping could lead to confusion if stacks could be opened that way, but closing requires a swipe. But since you can tap to go into an article, it seems natural to tap to go into a stack also.

Regardless, I'm really enjoying the app's interface. I also sent you a message via your website's Google form, with other ideas. Congrats on the concept and execution!
