Best mobile HN, by far: http://hn.premii.com/

Premii's too slow for me. I use Dinopost - http://hn.dinopost.com/.

I like how you can change the text size for a small phone. And it's light-weight for mobile connections - caches all the front page articles so makes it worthwhile for commuters.

I've got that set on my iPhone homescreen. And the UX is good for desktop too.

Doesn't appear to work on my lumia 800. Just says "Loading..." infinitely.

Same on HTC Sensation with 4.0.3 on board

Sorry, I don't have HTC or anyone that I know has HTC or any other android device with 4.0.3.

I have tested on 4.0.4 and someone i know using it on samsung android 4.0.2. Not sure what is so special about HTC sensation.

If you can go to this page and copy paste what you see there may help me to get some idea about your browser.

Same here :/ however typically stuff loads weirdly on Internet Explorer for Windows Phone (on WP7 at least).

It doesn't work for IE9. The author built it with HTML5 stuff, so sadly the IE9 WP7 won't work.

But you should be used to that for mobile websites, people kinda just build for WebKit on mobile.

Webkit is the mobile IE6 if you ask me. Very narrow minded design and testing from the people who usually bitch about IE6.

Oh the irony.

I don't understand the basis for that position and don't think it's true at all. Why do you think that's comparable at all?

Granted it works better but it's still developing for one platform only and excluding others.

Remember when sites were "optimised for IE". Well we're there again but it's not IE.

Actually, this was build for HTML5 browser to see if i can build native like experience. This works great on desktop and Mobile IE10/11. I was also told that this works on latest blackberry and Firefox OS.

It's not, IE6 was not standards compliant.

Neither is webkit. There are many things it doesn't do.

And it has lots of proprietary extensions.

How is it different?

Sorry only supporting IE10/11 (WP8).

Hey, thank you very much for your work on this. I use it several times per day and cannot stop recommending it.

Wow! Huge improvement on my iPhone. No more vertical scrolling of comments. If only I could vote and it had a narrower title bar. Current current title bar takes up 20% of my screen. Any perminant feaure should use the minimum space possible to maximize content view.

i agree, it has replaced native HN apps on my iphone.

agree here too, love the distraction free mode

Me too. Replaced all native Android HN apps for me.

There is a native Android app from premii as well, it's really nice!

Same here.

http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/ is also quite good.

This is the best answer by far because it's snappy and clean. You can't comment or vote, but reading is great.

This is really nice, but am I missing something or is there no way to go past the first page of content?

Looks great. But how does one comment?

You don't. The author doesn't want to handle user data.

takes ages to load and I cannot wipe to scroll, instead I have to "click" on a scrollbar. opera mobile.
