Personally not a fan of using an app to browser something that contains that many links to the web. You're either stuck in the in-app browser (no bookmarks, etc.) or there is a lot of switching between the app and the browser. I have an iOS device. The experience might be better on Android.
Two lines of CSS that will improve HN on mobile (IMO)

#93What I really would like to have would be to collapse comment threads via a column that runs the length of the comment thread and is indented like its respective comment. This way I don't have to scroll to find the comment to collapse its thread, and clicking the column is easier. This is used in some subreddits in the old Reddit style, e.g. /r/de as can be seen here: https://old.reddit.com/r/de/comments/rcc9us/exper…
The Refined Hacker News extension for Chrome has a “collapse root” button on each comment that I think does what you want.
Note that the extension is also for Firefox (and, I'll attest as well, is great).

#94I just zoom in to 115% on iOS and 120% in Firefox on my desktop computer.
Yep, HN is one of the few websites I use my browser's zoom feature on. 125% is enough for me to comfortably read.
Just a few lines of CSS could really improve readability here.

#96I wish there was a higher contrast ratio between text and the tan background.
Re: Two lines of CSS that will improve HN on mobile (IMO)
#97Personally I prefer the existing style. The larger text looks imbalanced, and I think there are ways to make collapsing threads easier without the eyesore, like changing "[-]" to "collapse thread" or adding a reddit-style bar to the left of the text. Commenting in case others agree, so the HN team doesn't assume everyone agrees with the proposed change.
Adding padding instead of increasing the size would accomplish a similar goal.

#98Hah! This is nothing compared to the “update” button being next to iOS Safari’s back button. Will I successfully update my prescient mumblings such that they actually make sense, or will I delete everything my fat fingers just spent hundreds of seconds editing? Who nose?! This is an specially irksome bug given that the two buttons are only next to each other for particularly long comments. I should cut back on the wa…
Does Safari not keep preserve the text when you press forward?
I suppose that wouldn't help if you opened the comment page on a new tab, though.

#99I use 20px font size in Hacker News - Zenburn Dark (by incrediblygood [1]) to make usable, the default fontsize and the bright colorscheme is fatiguing to my eyes.

+1 for the extension. Been using it since forever on Firefox and Brave.
