Ask HN: Would you use Facebook's original native app now after Paper?

Facebook just released its new app Paper, which essentially takes out the newsfeed from FB and presents it in an amazing fashion. But apart from groups and events, I think it has all the necessary things required for a regular Fb user. So would you want to ever use the Facebook app again?


I think I would enjoy Facebook Paper a lot more if it removed the Facebook news feed entirely. I think it should focus solely on news, not the fact that your friend changed their status or profile picture or whatever. Although, if I want to read non-Facebook news stories, I would probably just use something like Flipboard.



The learning curve is steep. After using it for a while, I still can't figure out how to do certain things.

I don't understand why they decided to hide the status bar.


To make you stay in the app longer


I still can't download it to my 5th gen iPod Touch for some reason. So can't my colleague. Anyone know why? The App Store says it's compatible.
