Interested in any discussion around a Stacker News iOS / Android client? Is their active development for this or something on the roadmap? Can the community get started?

looks like it isn't a progressive web app but i think for a site like this, that would be perfect. @k00b can probably speak to this better.

I'd like for us to have a better mobile experience. @kale developed a read-only react native app.
I need to document the API fully and hopefully we can get some unofficial mobile apps developed.

Why? Is just a simple news feed web, why would I need an app for that?
