Looks extremely nice. Currently I'm using http://hckrnews.com/ both on my laptop as well as on iOS due to the lovely layout for mobile as well as cronologically ordering. If your app can do that as well I'm sold!
Well, I want the app to be as close as what Apple could deliver as I possible. So I plan to keep the feed and comments very clean. It'll also feature some offline feature and automatic background update, very handy.
Sounds very very nice, I can't wait for iOS 8 now. By the way, please add a "add to reading list" for links.
Ahah, to be honest, this was the first feature I put in, you can send any article to the Reading List by swiping a cell. I use the offline feature of the Safari Reading List a lot. This is a killer feature for me. http://cl.ly/Wf4t
Nice. How about filters of some kind? Like "banned words" or the like. Maybe something like http://skimhn.com/.
