Is there any Android app that lets you post? The ones I've tried are either read-only or only let you vote.

All apps are read only.

No, at least for android there are r/w ones. None ive tried been perfect so far though

I'm iOS so I can't say anything about Android. All decent apps for iOS are read only.

I saw a comment on HN sometime back and can't seem to find it now, but thought it had some merit. The gist of it was that enabling posts from mobile might lead to lower content quality as typing on phones is tougher and we tend to focus on a quick reply rather than a thought out discussion.

I personally use http://hn.premii.com on mobile & it has a good reading experience.

No news:yc allows you to post comments. It's available for iOS. Not sure about Android. Using it right now; works really well.

Thanks! Shame that unlike Hacker News Droid, it doesn't have offline support; I like saving the comments for reading on the bus. Maybe I'll submit a pull request as a way of learning Android development.

On other note -

Is there an extension/app for HN that categorizes the posts into topics (based on some text analysis) & enables the user to filter them out from the feed? Feature akin to what lobste.rs provides.

This will basically enable me to filter out fluff stories that manage to rise up.
