So you'd rather Hacker News was an app correct? I sure don't.

  I use the Reddit app yes. Better yet would be for HN and any other kind of discussions forum, to just be NNTP hosted and then I could use any newsreader I like. The Internet is about network protocols and distributed computing, not trying to shoehorn everything into http:// http://

    www would disagree.

      Mobile native apps and the market failure of all browser based OSes would disagree. Even ChromeOS only had an impact in the US school system, forcing Google to support Android native apps.

        Just because browser based OSes haven't been spectacularly successful, doesn't mean that webapps as a whole are failures. I am willing to bet that Google docs has better usage on the desktop webapp than it does on the mobile native app.
