FAQ
Q: Can I use my existing Hacker News credentials to log into Hacki?
A: Absolutely. Hacki connects to the official Hacker News authentication system, so you can sign in with the same username and password you already use. Your login is encrypted and never stored in plain text on the device.
Q: Is my favorite list synchronized across all devices?
A: Yes. Once you are logged in, Hacki syncs your starred stories and comments to the Hacker News server. When you open the app on another phone or tablet, the same favorites appear automatically, provided you are logged in with the same account.
Q: How does voting work inside Hacki?
A: Voting works exactly as on the main site. Tap the up‑arrow to up‑vote a story or comment, and tap again to clear your vote. The UI provides immediate visual feedback, and the vote is recorded through the official API, so the count stays consistent with other clients.
