What is Hacker News?
Hacker News is a popular web service. Turn it into a standalone macOS app with Kagemusha for a dedicated, focused experience.
Why Use Hacker News as a macOS App with Kagemusha?
- One-click launch from Dock — No more opening a browser and searching for bookmarks
- Quick switch with Cmd+Tab — Access it like any native app. No more lost tabs
- Isolated profile — Independent from your browser session. Manage login states separately
- Extension support — Install Chrome extensions to extend functionality
Recommended Usage
With Kagemusha's Space Mode, you can combine X + Instagram + Threads into a single app. Switch between them with one click in the sidebar — perfect for managing related services side by side.
