It's a bit annoying to use on phones but I think that might actually be a (completely unintentional) advantage.

- kaffeeringe 4y agoThere are several good apps.
- iamdamian 4y agoTrue, but do any of them let you log in without giving over your password? (I don’t think that HN supports OAuth, but I’ve also never really looked into it.)
- winternett 4y agoI'm just happy they haven't joined the TFA circle of pain yet... That's usually the point where I just give up on logging in to social-based sites/apps.
- Cyberdog 4y agoYes, the phone experience suffers. I wouldn't call it an advantage, especially since the worst problems (itty bitty upvote/downvote buttons, for example) could be fixed with maybe just a couple hours of CSS tweaking. But as a whole, and particularly on desktop, the signal-to-noise ratio for this site is so high that it naturally attracts a certain type of technologically-conservative, nonsense-resistant developer, I think.
- mostlysimilar 4y agoI agree that it’s an advantage. It’s a form of quality control.
