Thanks for the app! I am curious about some of the design decisions on the iOS side. In your blog, you mention that “We truly believe a native Android & iOS experience stands out compared to non-native approaches, and we want to highlight that with HN,” but I noticed a few things:

- The app does not support Dynamic Type and instead uses steppers for font adjustments, which seem to stop at arbitrary values.

- It uses a custom web view for link previews.

- In many instances, it ignores safe areas.

When you say “native,” do you mean it is written in Swift, or is there more to it?
