Personally not a fan of using an app to browser something that contains that many links to the web. You're either stuck in the in-app browser (no bookmarks, etc.) or there is a lot of switching between the app and the browser.

I have an iOS device. The experience might be better on Android.

I have a rudimentary app wrapper for HN on Android, that just renders HN in a webWiew control but shells out to your default browser for external links.

It was the starting point of my own HN app, but as usual I never finished it.

I'm typing this comment via it, actually.

Not to mention every app is another potential security hole.

It also means you can't open a link in a private/incognito tab, which I like to do to cater my history and cookies.

Last time when I use this app, there is no login and comment function, only reading. I had to use Materialistic - Hacker News [0], with old UI and no update.

I'm writing this from Harmonic - it definitely has upvotes + comment sending, but no comment edit / delete, or link posting.

Hope dev will add all functions in the future.

Mobile Web > Mobile App (especially for sites like HN).

I personnally prefer to use Glider for HackerNew [0] mostly because it is available from F-droid and the webview uses firefox and can be switched to the browser pretty seemlessly.

Writing from it now, it's pretty simple and has everything needed
