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.

Thank you @koob
The read-only version is almost done. Here is the repo link: https://github.com/kale5195/bsats
I am applying for google play and app store account. Hopefully I can publish this week.
For the login part, will need your api to return the auth token..

would a progressive web app be possible? might be easier than implementing a whole mobile app.

stacker.news mobile web version is already very easy to use..
What's your most wanted feature for PWA?

native looking app and push notifications would be sick.

Push notifications 🔥

It would be as far as I understand it. I haven't looked into it very deeply though.

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

Thinking about access when we're not at the desktop/laptop...

I use SN on mobile in browser. Works just fine.
