Ask HN: Any GOOD iPad HN Reader?
I'd ideally like Alien Blue the HN edition, but I gather we'll seen an Android version before we see an HN one. I have tried loading in Flipbook, but that gets the articles without the comments. Is the problem that the HN API isn't as rich as the one for Reddit, or... ?
I've made one, it's on the app store for free, as well as open source on github, feel free to fork and improve it:

This website is really snappy and FAST on iPad. Plus, favicons on URL submissions is a nice touch!
There is no API for Hacker News. There's http://api.ihackernews.com/, which is unofficial and based on screen scraping, and doing the screen-scraping yourself.
When I open up my iPad and want to read sites like HN I've found Flipboard to be really good. Great interface.
Saw this one awhile back. http://ihackernews.com/
I submitted my iOS Universal app for Hacker News to the app store for review today.It should hopefully be released next week.
Here are some iPad Screenshots u can look at. http://www.flickr.com/photos/68420544@N03/
