Haiker translates Hacker News for everyone

Haiker is a Hacker News client built for non-native English speakers, automatically translating posts and comments into the reader's language. Replies translate back to English, so users can participate without constantly switching contexts.

// ANALYSIS

This is a focused UX fix for a real HN pain point: language friction. If the translations hold up, Haiker could make one of tech's most valuable communities far more accessible to a global audience.

–Auto-translation on both reading and replying removes the main barrier for international users
–Reply notifications, bookmarks, and dark mode make it feel like a full client rather than a translation layer
–Translation quality and nuance handling will decide whether this feels seamless or distracting in fast-moving HN threads
–The product is niche, but the use case is clear: widen access without asking users to abandon their preferred language
