This looks good, the animation on hover doesn't add any value though. My favourite HN client on phone is http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/ . It's lean, fast and looks like a native app on the phone. I've added a shortcut to my mobile's home screen, using the 'Add to Home Screen' option in Chrome, which gives me a nice quick launch icon. The downside of both these clients is that you can't login or post using them.

@nnain I removed the "on hover" animation. Login and posting, is not available from the HN API. so not much to do there.

Cool! May I suggest two more change. 1) Remove the Underline from the link on hover -- instead, change the color of the font. 2) Add a button to collapse the opened comments section (probably besides the 'see more' button), after someone has opened the comments. Have to scroll all the way to top right now. Thanks.

@nnain I already worked on a solution for getting in and out of the comments section. You can just keep scrolling and comments will collapse automatically, otherwise you can always close it from the icon which stays on top of the screen. Give it a try.

Good job! You could gzip your CSS and JS: http://hack.ernews.info/main.0.3.0-4-gf7fc609.css http://hack.ernews.info/bundle.0.3.0-4-gf7fc609.js

@gulbrandr They are already gzipped. I can see the original size of the assets in the disk, the ones served are much smaller.
