Disclaimer:

1. I created the app as a hobby project. Trilby is not affiliated with Hacker News.

2. Hacker News does not provide any API to interact with their server - meaning their official API does not supoprt POST requests - AKA login, reply, upvote etc. To enable those features, Trilby uses many clever techniques behind the scene. As with anything of this nature, they are experimental and could be buggy.

3. The app does not store or collect any sensitive user information. In fact, it does not collect any data.

Trilby is made with ❤️ in Munich.
