I am sort of surprised this website has so little functionality when it attracts some of the best programmers in the world by the thousands. I understand to some extent it's probably to prevent redditification, but mobile being entirely unreadable (and the "desktop view" on phones is broken now and does not help) is a bit much.

You must use Firefox on Android. I did as well. Apparently they're aware and working on a fix, but for now it works better in a webkit based browser on a phone. (Including Chrome on Android.)

I actually view that lack of functionality mostly as a feature - there's very little bloat, and the website is very fast, even on terrible connections.

Not sure what you mean by "mobile being entirely unreadable". HN seems to have full functionality for me (on Android, using Opera or Dolphin with Desktop user agent).
