I've tried many hn mobile redesigns and have settled with http://hn.premii.com and use it every single day!

Did they make an iOS app as well? This looks just like my HN iOS app. Love it.

They have it on the App Store and Google Play, but you can just use it on any browser. I use it on my desktop regularly!

Since Y Combinator has been redesigned, I hope they redesign HN and make it responsive and modern.

Verdana is a bit dated (it still looks good, but it's very reminiscent of early 2000s web design, as it was one of the few fonts that looked good without antialiasing on a 640x480 or 800x600 display), but I'd like to ask this of whoever gets tasked with refreshing HN's typography in the future: stick with a humanist sans serif. Don't go with Helvetica or another geometric sans serif.

Also see TheNews (iOS) http://bit.ly/thenews-ios

it's for both hacker news & designer news. It also has support for viewing comments in addition to the clean design :)

*disclaimer, I built it lol

I'm a fan of the design, but lack of comments is a deal breaker for me. I currently use this site for hn mobile: http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/

I use MiniHack, which is mind-blowingly good now that the update came through. Full comment posting on mobile and tablet, upvoting, flagging, everything.

Not bad, needs some work, but not bad!

My favourite app is MiniHack. Lets you post comments on mobile, and has a really nice interface now that he's updated the UI. Well worth the money.

A couple of months ago I built http://news.hdn.io/ after aggregating data from Hacker News and Designer News for The Hacker and Designer Newsletter.

No comments? That's like 70% of the reason I come on HN.

ihackernews.com is another alternative for anyone still poking around for good mobile versions of HN.

Honestly, I feel like they could satisfy 90% of mobile users with just a few lines of CSS to make it a bit more responsive. Having to zoom, pan, and squint on my iPhone is so frustrating.

I've been using a combination of Hacker Web [1] and TheNews [2].

Hacker Web IMO is perfect for browsing on mobile devices, whereas TheNews is great for desktop viewing.

Yeah, it's the nicest one I've seen by far. HackerWeb is a not-so-close second.
