Yeah, it is so hard to edit and type from Android. The best times to read and comment are when I would be unproductive like riding a metro or train or sitting at an airport, but it is so hard to type and edit.

App looks very nice. Just one issue: How can I see comments? This is a major point for me and a better interface would help, it's impossible to read comments on a small screen via the web interface.

The scrollbar could also use more visibility.

Looks nice but I tend to read comments and not the page/story linked to when am on a mobile device reading the site.

I don't own a windows phone and don't use any of these kind of apps, but doesn't the own existence of web site related apps represents a failure of said website to provide a decent web interface to mobile platforms?

I'm not referring in particular to hacker news or to this app, but websites in general that "need" a mobile app to properly or easily use it.
