I meant that HN is very popular without having an amazing user experience, specially on mobile.
For me HN is nearly unusable on mobile without a client
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.
HN is fine on mobile. It’s just text anyway. It is easy to reflow text.
I’m using it on mobile right now, works great. Has all of the same features as desktop.
