I think its OK but needs some more design work - why not make a competition? surely theres enough people here to waste a few hours putting together a nice design

#12Both of those look identical on my phone. And they both look identical on my PC. The only difference I see is that both versions on my phone are missing the [flag] option.

#13It's better than it was, but for viewing HN on my Android phone I use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airlocksof...

Flag is available when you are logged in. Like you said, there appears to be no difference whatsoever between the two versions.

#15I've seen this pop up a few times over the last few weeks. I just thought Safari was bugging out because I'd refresh and it'd be gone again. Hope it sticks around.

Re: Hacker News has native mobile view
#18Is there a way of choosing the regular view for a mobile device? Windows Phone rendered the old home page very well, but now each story takes up a lot more space and it's no longer possible to take in a large number of stories without a lot of scrolling.
Completely agree on this! I went scrolling for a 'Desktop view' link at the top/bottom, or somewhere in my settings that would flip it back, but I'm unable to find it.
I actually relied on the desktop view on my iOS device when any of the other third-party HN mobile views weren't quite getting me what I needed.
Loss of this view (without having to rely on a third-party App Store app that allows overriding the UserAgent) is rather saddening.

Yea, I'm a big fan of pinch and zoom and the new format on WP8 is worse.

#20I just noticed it when checking on my iphone. That's all I know. Couldn't wait to share the news.
Same here, I thought I accidentally found some new safari zoom (i am constantly confused on all the iOS gestures)
