And cue the comments where it says HN is just fine and nothing about it never ever needs to be changed and every change you could possibly make to it would just make it worse and you just don't know how to use your phone and so on...

FWIW, I'm partial to HackerWeb (http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/) on the iPhone and http://hckrnews.com/ on the desktop myself.

Have you tried any mobile app? There are a lot of great apps for HackerNews. I use HackerNews2 for my Android device and HackerNode for my iPhone.

That's the point, a whole app (maybe useless) because of the lack of 10 css lines.

For me is cooler this way, because it offers visibility on app list and when I have a few free moments, I look at my phone apps and I say "Great, let's see what's new on HN" :D .

I much prefer the current HN smartphone experience to some stupid thing that displays one comment at a time in a huge font and is missing half the options. It does suck on non-smartphones phones, but nobody cares about that anyway.

It looks fine on the iPhone 5 http://imgur.com/i3fEdol

No massive text size , more than 5 words per line ,etc

Your phone is not able to put page shortcuts on the homescreen or whatever?
