I'll upvote this because you put in work and deserve a fair shot. Personally, I feel <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com</a> is already the best mobile app. A mobile web browser was designed to browse webpages, which is what HN is. Unless a mobile app can implement all of HN's functionality, then there's no reason to make one. I like being able to see who submitted stories and comments, being able to click on their profiles, being able to get to "show" "ask" "new" etc...<p>Tangentially, and somewhat irrelevantly, requiring iOS 7.1 or above is a bit limiting, because there are people who can't upgrade because they're using an old phone, and upgrading will ruin their phone's performance. Is there any reason that iOS 7 is being required by more and more apps?
I'd love to see the points awarded, comments on each item and a separator between each item. I personally love the HackerNode app, although that design is a bit outdated (but still better).
