That would be okay if there were a Hacker News app that could display all the stories.

I mean, I agree with you that simple web pages are best for simple news and articles. But I don’t think you can immediately generalize that to “apps don’t scale”.

There is a HN app that displays all the stories (safari popup for links)

an app for every website would not scale icon-wise. and it would destroy the hypertext
