1. Is there any way to allow for selecting and copying of text from someone's comment? It is very often that someone posts something so profound or useful here on HN that I want to snip the text to save it in Evernote for future reference.
2. And like css771 posted, remembering your scroll position in comments (and which comments are folded) would be a HUGE addition. I often click a link in someone's comment which opens in the browser, go back to the app, and the reading position is reset, including any and all folded comments I had. Quite frustrating. Fixing this would be incredible!
3. Minor visual issue, but it seems the first indentation of a comment is not indented, as the other levels are. The first indented level has a color, but is not actually indented. This would help to make comments slightly more readable. I do love how easy it is to fold comments though. A quick tap and instantly folded.
Anyway, I love the app; you did a great job on it. If it had these three features above, it would definitely be my go-to Android app for Hacker News. Thank you!
+1 for the app, and I hope you found my feedback useful too!
P.S. Feel free to contact me via my personal email via my profile if you need any more detailed feedback, as I was a software tester for a while and hopefully you found my feedback and writing style useful.
1) I'd have to look into how I would make the "tap and hold" to select text work. In the meantime, if you long press on a comment and click "Share", it will bring up the sharing menu. Then you can select to either share a link to the comment, or the actual text of the comment (which you can then email, SMS, open in Evernote, etc.)
2) That's coming when I have a chance to work on the app again (busy busy!)
3) It's that way to save horizontal space when you're on a phone and the comments get nested deeply. Was it particularly confusing as a first time user?
You can email me if you have any other questions or just open an issue on Github. My email and Github are in my profile.
So good to see you here. I agree that your app is the best HN app. But please make it remember list scroll position. This one major flaw downgrades an otherwise superb experience.
Thanks! And I know; it's coming. I'm just really busy with other stuff, and it's been a while since I worked on it so it would take me a while to context switch.
