๐โจ Behold, the latest "innovation": a native
#macOS client for Hacker News, because clearly what the world needs is more opportunities to get distracted by internet debates in
#SwiftUI. ๐๐ With that kind of groundbreaking progress, we can only wonder what's next โ perhaps a bespoke app for reading comment section arguments on YouTube? ๐ฅณ๐

โฆOn the other hand though, were the fishes using interpretive dance to prove..? Or did the fishes use interpretive dance to describe..?
