I'd love to see that in the context of mobile/desktop visitors. My hunch is that HN has a disproportionately high number of desktop users (when compared to other "news" sites) and that there is a very high bar for a desktop user to pull out their phone and download a mobile app as opposed to a web app that incorporates an oauth based registration option. The mobile app experience of a) downloading the app and b) going through a potentially lengthy registration process using a mobile keyboard - is a big turnoff imo.
