Back before Apollo the client for Reddit announced that it was going to disappeared, i started working on a client with the same dark scheme and ui feel as Apollo but for HN.

I did this as a way to play around with iPod development and swift and i made it pretty far, more than expected, using the hn api powered by fire ase.

I eventually got into an issue with hn stories with too many comments. I need to rethink my approach on how to handle these cases, otherwise the app crashes when it tries to render 800 comments or so.

Overall it was a fun learning experience.
