What is it?

Hacki is a third-party Hacker News client built with Flutter and distributed for iOS, Android, and F-Droid. It focuses on reading and discussing stories with a large set of display and behavior options, including home page and story tile layout, accent color, font, and a true dark mode.

The app covers the core Hacker News workflow: logging in to reply, vote, filter and block, plus search across Hacker News and within a single thread. Comment threads can be navigated with ancestor lookup, and new comments since your last visit are highlighted with in-thread notifications. Favorites can be synced and imported or exported, and offline mode is available.

On iOS, settings sync across devices and Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets are supported. Stories and comments can be shared as images, and polls and tablet layouts are also included.
