I thought building something that I would use while learning iOS SDK was a good idea so I built HN Browser.

HN Browser is a simple app which lets you to read articles and comments on Hacker News. (no voting and writing comment yet)
For the logo, I reached out to Joel Glovier(http://joelglovier.com) for his previous work on Hacker News logo(http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4731140) and he kindly granted the use of his work.
It was really fun experience to collaborate and build a mobile app using iOS SDK. (although approval process was painful)
I would really appreciate if you share any thought.
- When panning the UI to show the left menu, it doesn't always open when the touch ends, even if it's mostly open.
- If there are no comments tapping on the "no comments" cell selects it blue and there is no deselect.
- Comments 'meta data' is displayed as "on (null) :username"
Overall it's a nice app, and a really good job for a "learning" project.
