Hacker News Reader

Not the OP, but I often discover interesting github projects when browsing HN on mobile and would like to star the project (basically, a bookmark) or even fork it (if I think I'll want to make code changes and possible send a pr). Has happened a couple of times in the past week.

Agreed. Starring seems important and useful - but I can't imagine that many people fork and then develop from a mobile phone... but I'm probably wrong :)

Well, allow me to retort -

I frequently check HN and GitHub from my phone and try to fork projects for later cloning and hacking, and have to "view desktop mode" to fork, so... yeah, pretty often!

Same as the above, but i have actually pushed code changes from the Github web UI before.

I at least appreciate that github gives this option.

From mobile? For real? haha.

I've made changes to the README.md file on a few projects from my laptop and imagine that I'd do something similar from mobile, but its surprising to hear you've actually submitted code changes to GitHub from a phone. :)
