HN is already fast. Simplicity is it's selling point. Anything put on top of that can only make it worse, most of all "AI".

I wouldn't shit on it if it were a hobby project, but spouting "cross-platform" when it's not, and coming right at me with "currently free to use". Gross, no thanks. There's already too many people charging money to make everything decent, incredibly worse.

Appreciate your honesty—totally fair that 120 HN may not be useful for you. My goal was to build a native HN experience with solid performance and a clean UI. The AI features are optional, and while not for everyone, they can be helpful to others who choose to use them.

For now, 120 HN is free and likely will stay that way unless there's enough interest to justify adding more features and ongoing work. It's a side project while I continue building other native apps at 120 Studio.

If you do decide to give it a try, I’d be happy to hear your thoughts—critical or not.
