Release v0.1.3
Change Log
Notes
If you're getting a warning that says the application is damaged, the temporary solution is to clear the quarantine flag
by running xattr -c ~/Downloads/HackerNews.app once in the Terminal. Sorry for the inconvenience, will fix this soon.
Update: For some reason, Apple still won't let me get a paid developer account; If you face problems, the binary in #13 might work.
Release v0.1.2
Release v0.1.1
This release fixes bugs and adds QoL improvements to the v0.1.0 version app.
Change Log
Release v0.1.0
This is the first non-prerelease version of HackerNews.app! 🥳
There are still a lot of features to be added, but in the meanwhile, the current app is probably usable for browsing, light up/downvoting, and searching HN around.
Perhaps bugs are lying around, waiting to be found. I would love if you make an issue for any bug that you found, it's fine if it's a low-effort report. Thanks!
Pre-release v0.0.6
Hopefully this will be the last release before v0.1.0.
I've added crucial features and fixed critical bugs to release:
- Added the Sparkle updater
- Adopted Keychain to save user auth information
- Added simple icon
- Removed prominent glitches, etc…
Pre-release v0.0.5
Some not big changes have been incorporated, including making the app more orange (Hacker News!) and adding a open-in-Safari button.
I'm trying to make more time to spend in this project, so I hope that I'll be able to fix some more bugs, add a bit more features and call it v0.1.0 in a not-so-far future. Every bug report helps, including things that are so trivial that a person can download the binary and find it right away. (I use the app daily, so it's hard for me to find out very obvious bugs because I'm so used to it.)
Pre-release v0.0.4
Some differences:
- Commenting is now available, with detachable popovers. Detach the comment popover to comment while doing something else! The comment popover also has some buttons to help you writing the comments, although they're very preliminary and they'll be better in the future.
- Story voting now works!
- I just worked around the Big Sur text selection bug... so you can now select text from comments and text stories.
Pre release v0.0.3
This is the same release with v0.0.2, but with the comment colors enabled. It turns out I have accidentally removed the comment color feature when releasing v0.0.2, so I quickly re-added it.
Some differences:
- Copying, selecting now works, albeit with a Big Sur bug that makes text shift whenever it's clicked.
- Comment colors now really work!
Pre release v0.0.2
This is a release after the big rewrite that I've done earlier.
This will be the basis of the final app that will be released, although there are some big omissions.
The minimum OS will be Big Sur, since I'm using a few Big Sur-specific UI elements. Sorry about that!
Some improvements since the last version:
- All new UI (native in Big Sur)
- Search now works!
- Comments now have colors like HN, which means you can now know whether the comment was downvoted or not.
Some regressions:
- Story upvoting is not available.
- Selecting, copying from comment is disabled (due to Big Sur bugs)
Pre release v0.0.1
As people say, if you've released something that you're not ashamed for, it's too late.
So I decided to add an release the current version (which isn't really an app, really more of an MVP).
Don't worry if you're disappointed after trying out,
I can definitely ensure you that this app isn't going to be distributed as it currently is.
The app currently has a lot of (pretty basic) features disabled - for example,
the commenting code is already written but I couldn't decide the optimal UI for commenting, so I removed it for now.
It also once had search (as in the screenshot) but I also removed it mostly because I wanted to make it more reliable.
All-in-all, this pre-pre-pre release only is able to view HN, login and upvote/downvote, and has a non-optimal UI,
but it'll have much more features and a better UI as development proceeds.
