#2I prefer the version of Hacker News from four months ago to the current version, and all of the viewers listed here, even on mobile. I wouldn't think my opinion would be niche.

#5I've used hn.premii.com for years and couldn't be happier. I also like the name, it means 'prizes' in Romanian.

I was just about to say the same thing. A few years ago it was a bit annoying to read on mobile, but they eventually made some minor CSS tweaks which made it much better.
Performing certain actions, such as upvoting, require zooming in a lot in order to hit the desired arrow. I'd love to see that improved, but it's hardly a deal-breaker for me.

They don't want you to know the secret to reading HN!
On a more serious note, I'm pretty happy with seeing it right here on this very domain. Hell, I haven't even changed the orange header.
The layout and navigation are simple but intuitive. The site is very light and loads quickly. I don't like how voting will make me jump around the page, but I can live with that. No site is perfect for everyone, after all.
Yeah, I think I'll just keep reading it right here.

What changed four months ago? I didn't notice any change.

#9I've used the Hacker News Enhancement Suite for the past few years and thought it did just enough things to make the site a tad more usable without going overboard:

#10I think the best way is how HN is. In fact, I wish more websites had this text only approach. Came across this fantastic redesign of a conceptual text-only TechCrunch: https://hackernoon.com/redesigning-techcrunch-1ecae542e6af
Somebody please make that!
