imsurajkadam•5mo ago
can i read or save it for later so that i can read the full version?
wiso•5mo ago
Yes you can bookmark articles and they are available is saved articles for later.
tom1337•5mo ago
There is no published version on the AppStore yet, right? Gotta bookmark that so I can build it later - looks nice!
wiso•5mo ago
Created the app yesterday, adding more features and will publish hopefully soon.
spectre3d•5mo ago
Very cool, please do!
spicybright•5mo ago
Could you post a screen shot of the comments view?
throwanem•5mo ago
Why?

I don't wear an Apple watch but I do wear a smartwatch, and I can't imagine a reason to want this website on it.

davely•5mo ago
So you can read Hacker News on your watch.

I find myself doing this randomly when I don’t have access to my phone (believe it or not, it happens for legit reasons) through something called ųBrowser.

It’s probably masochistic but it works in a pinch. I’ve been thinking of writing my own watch app to do this, as well as an app that could use the Feedbin API.

throwanem•5mo ago
I might use the word 'compulsive,' but you would know better than I.

On another subject, you should email hn@ycombinator.com to get your account un-shadowbanned. That generally also is a better, or at least less in-band, way to raise concerns like the presence of obvious spam. Otherwise, the risk is that you'll get caught up in an imperfectly selective mass mod action to deal with a bunch of spam burners, as appears to have occurred a couple weeks ago.

Its not website its feed browser and comments reader with optional article browser view. Its something I wanted from first day I got apple watch.
throwanem•5mo ago
Fair. I could see use for a wristborne RSS poller/reader, especially in my old systems & networks admin days.

That said, the "leave your phone behind" use case never appealed to me, and turning my watch's radios on in regular operation would reduce its battery life by an order of magnitude. Oh, there's obviously a fashion for the pretense of a tech-free life, but it never seems to improve the equanimity of its pursuers and so I haven't really seen the appeal. Still, that's a "me" problem, and I appreciate the context on your app. Nice work!

Aloha•5mo ago
I suspect this is a "because I can" project ;-)
carlosjobim•5mo ago
You're confusing this website with your e-mail inbox again. The post was made intended for the general public, not a message written personally for you.
throwanem•5mo ago
"You're," and I think you meant to remove one of "made intended."
AbuAssar•5mo ago
Why it is always: minimal, lightweight, singlefile etc...

I want to see full-featured for a change!

x187463•5mo ago
It's often shorthand for "I just made this and it doesn't have many features." An MVP, if you will.
wiso•5mo ago
Minimal is sense minimal size of UI for small form factor like Apple Watch, but its already has a lot of features like feed selection, bookmarks, comments, article links, links support etc.
spectre3d•5mo ago
Looks good, nice to have the option of a dedicated HN app for watchOS instead of having to open a full-fledged reader like News Explorer. RSS on the watch is great.
JaggerJo•5mo ago
Nice!

Had to look twice at the author name. Thanks for all the Avalonia related work you are doing!

wiso•5mo ago
Thanks. Hope one day I can do it with Avalonia too for my Apple Watch :)
