HN is my favorite UI. I guess what makes some people happy makes others unhappy. For me personally "mobile" UI's suck on mobile. HN works great on mobile, for me at least. HN works great on a desktop too.

One vote for the UI being great just as it is. Mobile and desktop.

The voting and hide/comment age buttons are terrible on mobile - they're far too small and close together so it's easy to accidentally press the wrong button. Nested comments are bad on mobile too, since they end up being in a column two words wide.

The nesting of comments really bothers me too, the deeper you go into a thread, the narrower the columns.

If you're looking for an app that has solved the nested comments issue, check this out: https://shn.app.link/HN-ask2
