Despite it's flaws, HN has a far superior user experience compared to Reddit. It's not even comparable.



So? I wan't comparing HN with Reddit.

I meant that HN is very popular without having an amazing user experience, specially on mobile.


HN is popular within certain demographics and tends to have somewhat circular discussions as a result. As someone who works in finance in NYC, I know nobody else who reads it. I imagine if I worked in tech in Redwood City, I might think differently.


I’m using it on mobile right now, works great. Has all of the same features as desktop.

What is your complaint about mobile?


HN is fine on mobile. It’s just text anyway. It is easy to reflow text.


For me HN is nearly unusable on mobile without a client
