Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Yes, its very nice. I use this iOS app as well. iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hacker-news-yc/id713733435 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.premii.hn And its open source too! https://github.com/premii/hn

I use the iOS app. I wish the developer would update it to support left edge slide for going back.

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/

Agree, but the current version omits all numerical point data and the repeating #comments 30 times uses alot of pixel space. I'm wondering if there's not a hack or abstraction that might benefit the layout.

When I click the hyperlink, I jump to another web site, although in desktop HN work will, for mobile devices is too bad. In my way, it propose a new mechanism to translate the other web page to adopt the mobile devices, do in app.

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

Hmm, just says "Loading..." for me on my antique old setup (original Galaxy S, Opera) - and frankly the main site actually works fine. In fact none of these alternatives look better imho, and I like to see how many comments are already up before opening an article - something many of them leave out.

I've seen a lot of "redesigns" of HN, but that is by far my favorite of them all.

I've been using the "Hacker News Enhancement Suite" [1], which isn't much of a suite as it is a more Reddit-like version of HN.

Namely, it has collapsible comments, inline replying, and a generally nicer but not over-designed layout.

That website doesn't have the same thread ordering as the homepage on the real thing, or it seems to be delayed... if you pull up both in parallel you'll see it quite obviously...

Note that it is probable that Hacker News / News.YC itself will in the relatively near future have a more "responsive" design: https://github.com/HackerNews/HN/issues/96

The stories are cached in both API-side and client-side for few minutes, so you'll see some discrepancies.

I use MiniHack, which is mind-blowingly good now that the update came through. Full comment posting on mobile and tablet, upvoting, flagging, everything. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/minihack-for-hacker-news-yc/...
