To all the top level comments about browser extensions, I want to use HN on mobile without an app. It's not possible due only to collapsibility. Comments sections are effectively top-comment-only.
- threeseven37 11y agoIf you don't mind me asking, why don't you want to use an app?
- greggman 11y agoApps can spy on me more than webpages and have more potential to do bad things to my device.
- prplhaz4 11y agoBecause I already have an app for that - the web browser, and it works great with countless other services I use on a daily basis.
- ryanisnan 11y agoYet another tool to keep track of for something that could easily be native? Biggest reason to use an app in this case would be only if pg was expressly against an idea that an app could achieve.
- kuschku 11y agoUse Firefox? (It has addons on mobile)
- snowwrestler 11y agoI browse HN a lot in the default iOS browser, and it works fine for me. I can scroll pretty darn fast with flicks of my finger, to get past sub-threads I want to skip. Heck I do the same thing on Reddit; it's faster and simpler for me than collapsing threads.
