-This project started as one of my silly mini-projects. I create this initially to try out iOS 5+ Mobile Safari's new `-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch` CSS support. I need some sort of content for scrolling, so why not [Hacker News](http://news.ycombinator.com/)' stories? I'm also trying something called [Fake it 'til you make it](http://snook.ca/archives/conferences/fake-it) which I make the web app looks (and feels) like a native mobile app. In this case, like a native iOS app. If the web app is loaded on non-iOS devices, it'll switch to the 'web' theme which is like a generic theme for other browsers and platforms.
