Uncover the ways Pranoy Chowdhury (the company) bills you and cancel your HACK subscription.
A few things to note and do before cancelling:
- offers a one-time in-app purchase to support server costs and unlock customizations.
1. - Powerful search (powered by Algolia API) - use @date to sort by date, #story to filter for stories, #comments to filter for comments, #author_username to filter by user etc.
2. This is useful for when you are viewing the app in split view / multitasking and like opening the link / story / comment in a browser side by side.
3. - On iPads, you can drag a story / comment / story's image (link) to open it in safari in split view.
4. Supports Brave, Firefox, Firefox Focus, Orion, Opera Touch, Dolphin, DuckDuckGo, iCab Mobile, Microsoft Edge and Chrome.
5. HACK for YC's Hacker News is the most beautiful and easy way to read about the latest tech, startup and STEM news.
6. - Search in comments and usernames! Search is case and diacritic insensitive and ignores punctuations.
7. Go to settings > Disable the "Use in-app Safari" setting > tap that row to change the default browser.
8. Search uses an CONTAINS, OR operation if multiple words are typed.
9. - I run my own server for caching high quality favicons shown in the app plus for push notifications for replies.
10. - Archive: View an archive of the post website.
11. - Articles can be opened in built in safari or 3rd party browsers.
12. - Can select / highlight the comment/post title text for lookup/copy/translate etc iOS native operations.
13. - Tap the bottom button to scroll to the next root comment in the thread.
14. I offer an ad and analytics free and beautiful app for the absolute best experience for my users.
