Download the latest DMG from the Releases page, open it, and drag the app to Applications. That's it — no Xcode or developer tools needed.

Requires macOS 14.0 or later.

For developers who want to build and modify the code:

  1. Clone the repository
    git clone https://github.com/IronsideXXVI/Hacker-News.git
  2. Open Hacker News.xcodeproj in Xcode 26+
  3. Build and run (Cmd+R)

Swift packages (Sparkle) will resolve automatically.
