Steps to repo:

1. Open Hex from cold and fetch a list of articles
2. Return to the Android Launcher (background Hex)
3. Put device into flight mode
4. Bring Hex to foreground
5. Select the same article

App will hard-crash.

If I rotate my Nexus 5 while I am viewing an article or the comments, Hex crashes. "Unfortunately, Hex has stopped."

Rotating the device is not a problem if I am viewing the first page.

Steps to reproduce: Open Hex. Choose a link. When the article has loaded, rotate the device. Hex crashes.

It also crashes if you are viewing the comments. It also crashes if you are viewing the front page in landscape orientation, choose an article, and the rotate the device to portrait orientation.

My device is a Nexus 5.

Hacker News URLs (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11226912) should be shareable to Hex for viewing the article / browsing the comments.

Down the road support for sharing article URLs and getting back a list of HN threads (as Find HN Comments did) will be supported, but this V1 functionality will precede that.

• Update all dependencies where possible.
• Add a dark theme which can be enabled by a newly added Settings Activity.
• Allow back action from the Toolbar on About/Settings.

• ~~Settings help text not visible against dark background.~~
• ~~Comment collapse looks wrong on Lollipop.~~

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an article.
2. Select a link in the article, allowing the next page to load in the WebView.
3. Hit back.

Observe the the user is taken back to the front page rather than navigating back a page in the WebView.

Currently, when clicking in a link in the article tab, it replaces the article itself with the new page.

And when clicking in a link in a comment, it opens in the external browser.

These links should be opened on the in-app browser, instead.

Ideally this should be configurable. (In this case, with in-app browser disabled, it should open article links in the external browser IMHO, and not replace the article with it).

When a comment has a big URL inside it, it shows only part of it and adds "..." to the end. That's fine, but when clicking in the link it should open the full URL. Currently it tries to open the partial URL in the browser, which usually results in a 404 error.

Hi

Thanks for this great app! I love how simple it is, the great design and night theme!

It would be great to have an option to open comments instead of article by default. Or alternatively, it could have a 💬 button on the list to open the comments.

When viewing a story with horizontal scrolling content (I.e., a code snippet), it is very difficult to scroll horizontally inside of the content without instead navigating to the comments view. In other words, you can scroll a few pixels in the content's horizontal scroll, but then the app will "catch" it so to speak and move the screen to comments. See screenshots attached if this is not clear.

Repro steps:

1. Load a story with horizontal scrolling content, like code snippets
2. Attempt to scroll the content element horizontally
3. Observe as you are moved to comments view

Currently the physical back button and the top-left back buttons are the only means for users to leave article/comment view and return to the front page.

Swiping left on article view loads comments, and right on comments loads article view.

It would be very handy if I could continue swiping right from article view to return to the front page. This way I don't have to stretch my hand to reach the back button on a large phone.
