Tell HN:If you are using the Android HN reader I wrote, upgrade to 2.2

Before 2.2, the Android reader depended on a Sinatra screen-scraping app go-between running on Heroku. I don't understand why but lately that app is often failing. (Is ycombinator.com blocking it?). So, last night, I changed the Android app so that most of the screen-scraping is done by Java code in the Android app itself.

Sorry for the inconvenience.



If YC is blocking it you should probably follow up with them first before routing around it.
