Hacker News is usable on mobile Safari, but it's not as good as it could be. Try using Alien Blue to browse reddit on an iPhone (and especially an iPad). It is a superior experience to using the plain web site (even m.reddit.com). I very much wish there was an equivalent for Hacker News.

Hacker Node works pretty well, but doesn't support voting, commenting or submitting.

Remember Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. After being inside large, bureaucratic organisations, I've learnt that this is often the best explanation.

Right, and the stupidity is twofold: that external access to resources (site/app) is a zero-sum game where x developers must be allocated to one or another goal without any coherence between them, which is source of the schism between app and mobileweb UXes, and that apparently nobody has spoken up to say that both products suck.

Fscking Tapatalk. I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever install your app, even if it scratches my back. Ever; just because of your incessant, annoying spam on every god damn forum I ever go to. Give me a global opt-out. I can't wait to get over this hard-on for native apps. ABC, you too, for god's sake, I clicked on a random news story, I don't need your app.

Funfact: If you disable cookies, this occurs every single time a forumpost is loaded, regardless of whether you've visited the site before.

I register this functionality, which removes you from the browser for a popup-box, as essentially a security vulnerability which is being exploited by malware.
