## What it is
A Hacker News reader mobile app for iOS and Android built with React Native. It demonstrates list views with pull-to-refresh, pagination, comment threads, and an in-app WebView.

## Use cases

## When to choose
- you want a reference example of an older React Native app structure

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained app on current React Native versions - it is deprecated and pinned to React Native 0.20
- you want production-ready code for release today
