SwiftHN

A Hacker News reader in Swift using the best features of both the language and iOS 8 latest API (well, that's the end goal)

SwiftHN is now available on the App Store! I've renamed it to HN Reader for obvious reason.

ETA

=======

Installation

Clone this repository.

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/Dimillian/SwiftHN

Incase you cloned the repository without the recursive option, you will have to manually install the HackerSwifter submodule.

$ cd SwiftHN
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Open using Xcode.

$ open SwiftHN.xcodeproj

Features

• Now link with its own Hacker News Swift scrapping library, HackerSwifter. This is still a work in progress but it support the most basic features. This is linked as a submodule, so be sure to clone it too (I'm looking at you Github for Mac)
• The podfile is now useless, you may still run pod install to setup the project.
• A basic UI which respect latest Apple guidelines
• Use Swift features such as extension, framework, etc...

• More...

The app is in progress, but already functional, you can read the newsfeed, send article to the Safari Reading List, view the article in a webview, and load comments.

You can contribute to the app, just do a pull request. You can even contribute to the design in Sketch if you want!
