This app and widget and related code is free to use for anyone. This was a side project to learn Android, Kotlin and the many libraries that came along with it. Screenshots in the Google Play link above.

There are many Hacker News apps, but this one focused on two features:

- Widgets: This app supports dynamic widgets using Compose Glance. The widgets can be themed and set up with one of the three main categories: "New", "Top" and "Best".

- Themes: Both the widgets and the main app support a number of color schemes based on user preference.
