Ask HN: iPhone friendly Hacker News?

6 points·geuis··9 comments

I would love if HN had an iPhone version of the site. Anyone else feel the same way?

To be honest, I don't mind the site as it is on the iPhone. The pages themselves are simple, so it renders quickly and it's quick to navigate.

Not sure why - But a lot of iPhone versions seem to cut the number of articles/elements back quite considerably. Of the iPhone-friendly news sites that I use, most of them only display a dozen or so articles (rather than the 40-50 that are usually on the normal site).

I prefer to zoom around a page then be stuck with navigating through smaller pages.

http://buxfer.com/yc/ - this one is the fully featured one, but it has been down for a while.

http://code.seedlessmedia.com/iCombinator/#_home - this one works.

VenueM.com makes a great RSS to iPhone-friendly web site interface. Check out their Hacker News site (ideally on an iPhone/iPod Touch) at:

this site/service is exactly what i was looking for when checking the latest posts on my iphone

Works pretty well through Google Reader.

I use Google or Skweezer to "mobilize" any website :)

Hey, I think just being away from HN for a while is good for me. I haven't been here in a week or so and I'm pretty sure my productivity rose. Though it's fun to come back and read some of the stuff here when I feel burnt out :)

I think buxfer makes one. I forget the URL though.

looking for this as well.
