Ember 1.3.0
Stability + community contributions.
Fixed
- Mac Catalyst no longer crashes on first launch (missing SettingsStore in presented views, #1). Stores are re-injected across cover/sheet boundaries.
- Appearance reliably reverts to System after forcing Light/Dark (#9, thanks @gingerbeardman).
- Search no longer flashes a transient error while typing (#10, thanks @gingerbeardman).
Added
- Per-story thumbnail toggle in Settings and onboarding (#8, thanks @gingerbeardman; closes #7).
Changed
- Signing config no longer forced off, so device builds sign normally; README signing section added (#12, thanks @gingerbeardman; addresses #6).
Ember 1.2.0
- Adjustable reading text size: a Settings control plus pinch-to-zoom inside a discussion
- Privacy manifest for App Store readiness (no tracking, no data collection)
- README privacy section documenting the official-APIs-only, no-account stance
Ember 1.1.0
Desktop, offline, and typography update.
- Mac and large-iPad support via Mac Catalyst with an adaptive three-pane layout (sidebar, story list, discussion)
- Offline reading: bounded disk cache for feeds, stories, and comment threads with automatic fallback; size and clear in Settings
- Reading typography set in the bundled Inter font, scaled with Dynamic Type
- Dedicated share button in the story toolbar
- Higher-contrast metadata and more generous spacing
Ember 1.0.0
First public release of Ember, a native Hacker News reader for iOS.
Highlights:
- Top/New/Best/Ask/Show/Jobs feeds with pagination and pull-to-refresh
- Natively rendered, collapsible comment threads (single-request via Algolia)
- Full-text search, saved stories, read tracking, in-app reader, user profiles
- Smart onboarding that detects device appearance and accessibility settings and pre-configures the app
- Accessibility throughout: color-independent status cues, VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, underlined links
- Custom design system with full light/dark, six accent themes, and haptics
Built with SwiftUI for iOS 18+, with no third-party dependencies.
