Show HN: I made an open source iOS HN reader

Hi all, i made an iOS HN reader, so i can read HN nicely on my iphone while pushing my daughter on the swing (she likes going on the swing for a good hour on saturdays... go figure). Anyway i figured i'd open source it and show it here:

https://github.com/chrishulbert/HackerNewsReader

And its on the app store if you couldn't be bothered firing up xcode:

Anyway, hopefully someone out there can learn something looking at the code. There seems to be a dearth of example code / foss code from actual proper apps out there. Have a nice weekend all!

    This looks awesome. As somebody who has considered getting into iOS programming, but hasn't taken the dive yet (more focused on ruby based websites / mobile websites right now), thanks for making it open source.
