A way to hide the side bar/pane ?
One thing I find annoying, is when I read an article, I often want to read it with the full width of the mobile device.
On the iPad, the left pane takes up a lot of space (enough that poorly formatted articles can be hard to read) so I'd like a way to toggle / hide it.
I like how the "Alien Blue" (reddit) app does this. You double tap the header (in news:yc this would be the orange header area above the article), and that causes that pane to go full width. Double tap again, and the side pane is restored.
(there's also some cool scrolling behaviours for changing the panes in Alien Blue, but just the double tap feature is probably all that's needed).
If you rotate to Portrait, that lets you read an article with the full screen.

Oh OK. I didn't notice that. I'm one of those people who uses their iPad almost exclusively in landscape mode.
I never use portrait because I find it's too narrow. Especially for viewing web sites. In fact, fullscreen in portrait is not any wider than the article "pane" in landscape. Haven't really gained anything.
Can't you make the same toggle behaviour for the side menu happen regardless of portrait / landscape? :-)
I second this request. I read almost everything in landscape mode and webpages being cut off like this a my number one problem with this app.
