"Admittedly, using Hacker News on an iPhone is not the best mobile browser experience"
That's precisely why people are willing to buy an app like this: to improve the experience. Yes, "fixing" HN is easy, if you're pg. If you're just a reader, something like this offers a fix today, for three dollars.
(I agree with you, by the way: I won't pay money for a glorified web browsing app. Just pointing out that I think there's a place for apps like these, if only as a means of pointing out to site owners what they could improve.)
- micheljansen 16y agoI agree, although I meant my comment to be taken in general (there are so many of these apps, for so many different websites). In the case of HN there actually has been another reader that fixed the mobile experience for free (as mentioned in trimski's comment): http://toadjaw.com/hn http://toadjaw.com/hn
