A common process rethinking work Let us introduce a bit. We are two high school entrpreneurs, both design lovers and also Hacker News users. I have been using Hacker News for a year and as you may know, Hacker News isn’t very mobile friendly and that is the reason why Nestor (the designer) and me (Juan, the developer) get together to build a product that changes this, and give to Hacker News users the opportunity to fill a full reading and interaction experience with the platform and their users. Disruption There’s a Jonathan Coulton song that I like called “ ”. It’s a tongue-in-cheek lament about how routine can be disrupted by something “in the nicest way”. You Ruined Everything That was our a intention with . Enjoy a bunch of great features we wanted to use every day with Hacker News. Boreal is one of the biggest places to share, read and discuss about tech. The only problem with is that it . This is the reason why we created a Hacker News client with a ton of features that just can give you. Hacker News Hacker News is not mobile friendly Boreal You may be asking your self, what is the difference between Boreal and other clients? Well, that’s what we love about Boreal and why we want to share it with you. Boreal is completly different. From the design to the experience. When we compare with other clients, we found that you can do , you can also comment, upvote and even publish your own posts! In the feed you can filter the posts by upvotes and comment, so you find just the most interesting ones. Boreal more than just reading stories I am someone who loves sharing content on twitter, thats the reason why we also added an option to share text as an image just by selecting the text you want to share, we called this feature “TweetShot”. Yay! TweetShot example :) Every time you read a story it is saved to the “Viewed” section. Never lose a good article. You can also open news in two different modes: our in-app browser or in a custom view which is full of advantages.
