App stopped working

The app stopped working on my iPad and iPhone. I disabled Pihole, turned off Wi-Fi (so went directly to cellular), and still nothing. The app opens but spins trying to retrieve news.

I noticed this too.
It looks like the app parses the HTML from https://news.ycombinator.com/news rather than use the Hacker News API. I'm guessing it was probably more efficient to do this as the API doesn't seem to return all the titles, just a list of ids that require an additional lookup.

Maybe something changed in the HTML, requiring a HtmlParser update? Just guessing

Thanks for reporting this. It looks like there was a small change in Hacker News' HTML last night.

I've submitted a fixed build which is awaiting review, and should hopefully be released in the next day or so.

The fixed build is available on TestFlight if you'd like it earlier: https://testflight.apple.com/join/UDLeEQde

Version on TestFlight seems to be working great. Send Feedback button/link is still unresponsive, though...

Confirmed working again with the TestFlight version. Thanks!
