This looks brilliant! I was using hacker news as an example to espouse the benefits of a decent mobile design the other day... another user tried to tell me that Hacker news was perfect for mobile browsing ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6171701 ). I present your work as compelling evidence to the contrary. In all seriousness though - this is the sort of thing I have been meaning to get around to myself - than…

Didn't work so well for me on mobile. Not at all. However it is excellent on my desktop.

No, its not. PM me if you want source code. You can use it however you like it without any restriction.

I'd love to see the source code too please. I'm working on a side project and would love to make it as smooth as this.

It really puzzles me that HN doesn't have a mobile version. It just doesn't scale right on mobile. It sucks and it shouldn't because its design is not that complex.

I may be suffering from dumb user syndrome, but is there a way to log in to reply to comments?

You are not dumb. Unfortunately I am not supporting login. I don't want to store users' login id and password and I am not sure the best way to do this without storing user's data.

That's what I thought. Thanks it is a great mobile version.

I wrote this client. Never submitted to HN, because I wasn't sure if anyone will like it. After it reached to the FP, my vps server stop responding. So I moved it to S3. S3 doesn't gzip content. Now it takes twice the time to load the app. Thanks EtienneK for submitting to HN. Also forgot to mention that you can download an android app from play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn

What are you using for stripping the content from the links?

readability maybe?

I actually really like this as a desktop application as well. I would honestly consider using this over news.ycombinator.com if it were more fully featured (like allowing one to log in and post comments).

If you don't plan on monetizing this, I think a lot of people would love for you to open source it. This is quality work.

I don't see a PM function so I'll leave a message here. You can send a link to my email if you prefer.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The UI performance for your web app is impressive. Did you use any other libraries besides fastclick? Or was it a lot of manual work and research to make the UI perform well?

+1. I don't know what are your plans with this app, but I would love to learn more about how you did that. Do you plan to open-source it?
