Ask HN: Why isn’t there a HN app?

Those apps are such a hassle to use that I can’t see how it ‘increases engagement’ if by that you mean I spend more time using the service.

The bad experience drives people away the same way the ads drive people away from OTA TV.

I don't like Reddit's app, but I click the notifications, then get sucked into it for an hour. But I'd probably use Reddit once a quarter otherwise.

Ouch. Look at my link and you will see I am engaged enough in hacker news. In fact writing on HN displaces better writing I could do on a blog, people who read enough will find out about all my schemes even if they don’t believe what they read.
