What is Reddit's opinion of Yarn for Hacker News?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

This week I released my first app, Yarn for Hacker News, which is a full featured hacker news client that follows the material guidelines. Since then, I've already released one update that covered the two most common requests from this sub, and am working on another to cover most of the other requests :)

Gotta give Yarn for Hacker News a shout out here. The app has just about every single feature all the other apps have been missing for ages. You actually login, vote and submit posts. Yes that sounds basic but the next best thing is essentially a styled, read only version of Hacker News.

Unless someones done your idea exactly like youve done it, its still worth doing. If its done well, people may appreciate the differences, even if they are minor.

Or if someone's done your idea, but its using old design standards, or implemented poorly, then people may be willing to convert.

Yarn for Hacker News isn't the first Hacker News reader, and doesn't offer much that the others don't, but sets itself apart with its material design and general polish

Ultimately, if you just want it to be a portfolio piece then you can just throw it up on the play store and see what happens. If it gets a good rating and/or makes a bit of dosh thats awesome. If not, take it down and its not like you would have lost anything.

If going open source, keep the repo private until you release and then convert it to public. Unless its a massive success, it'll be too late for people to rip it off. And if it is a massive success, people would copy it anyway

I imagine it is just a ListView/RecyclerView where the list items have a left margin to inset the item, and appropriate notify item added/removed calls.

Though I'm going to page my friend /u/blu3jack who made Yarn for Hacker News .

I released a beta today for Yarn for Hacker News that adds readability support for pro users. The beta can be accessed by joining the Google Plus community

Yarn for Hacker News was updated this week to include a bunch more user requested features
