Show HN: HN v0.2.1 – Native macOS app for reading HN

7 120-dev 2 7/16/2025, 11:36:47 AM 120.dev ↗

Hey HN folks,

Last week I released the first public version of 120 HN — a fully native Hacker News client for macOS. This week, I'm excited to share version 0.2.1 with some essential updates:

The app now remembers window size, position, and sidebar state between sessions

Improved AI summaries: more concise, relevant with link back to the comments, easier to read with short paragraph form.

Minor tweaks to navigation and layout for a smoother experience

Sneak peek: local LLM support is coming in the next release.

As always, the app is free to use. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for checking it out.
