A Hacker News reader in Swift
SwiftHN
A Hacker News reader in Swift using the best features of both the language and iOS 8 latest API (well, that's the end goal)
SwiftHN is now available on the App Store! I've renamed it to HN Reader for obvious reason.
ETA
=======
Installation
Clone this repository.
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/Dimillian/SwiftHN
Incase you cloned the repository without the recursive option, you will have
to manually install the HackerSwifter submodule.
$ cd SwiftHN
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
Open using Xcode.
$ open SwiftHN.xcodeproj
