This might be a hot take, but "modern" user interfaces fucking suck. Current front-end web development is a folie a plusieurs where worse is better and outright nonsensical is the ideal. This issue affects everything from the development process to the interface. It really does need to stop.
Hackernews is one of a dying breed of sites that provides an information density suitable for somebody over the age of 12, good use of screen real-estate, fast loading times, and an uncluttered interface. Although its good design is wasted on its userbase, 4chan is another site in the same vein as HN design-wise.
There are some great mobile clients for HN. You're always free to use an existing CSS reskin or create your own (this isn't a horribly complicated site).
