Congratulations on the design - this is a really nice app, I particularly like the way it presents hacker news links almost as if they were on hacker news, with minimal distractions/ads etc. A much nicer way to read online, though it does lose something of the original articles, it's surprising how much it declutters the websites concerned. I haven't looked at the code yet but will be interested to see how you do this without losing important information.
One bit of UI that confused me - the up down triangles are used on HN for voting, so for HN readers it's really confusing to use them for next/prev story instead. The comment threads could do with some work, but I'm sure you know that - one quick fix that would be nice would be a count of comments in the speech bubble top right. Personally as comments are so important to the appeal of HN (at least for me), I'd give them a bit more prominence than you have here, and perhaps auto-load them in the space below the story, with the bubble just jumping to where they start.
Being able to log in and actually use HN would be nice too, I can't see any way to do that at present, but I'm sure it's on the todo list.
Unfortunately like most interesting stories on HN, this one might just drift past without anyone noticing - I've given you an upvote to try to avoid that.
[EDIT] Oh, that was weird - this story just disappeared into the ether, I wonder why? Did you delete it?
