Hn would be worse as an app, but more notably Twitter, and reddit would be better as pure web pages if they didn't purposely cripple them to funnel people into the app.

There's no way to be notified of comment replies, or see votes, though. But otherwise I love it as well.

Dumb question time… How do you get notifications on comment replies? I thought this missing feature was “by design” to limit bickering.

Edit: I won’t (eventually) see your reply because I just hit the comment depth limit. Reach out by email if you want to answer. :P

There's a handy site if you see this: https://hnreplies.com/

There is no comment depth limit per se; to continue replying, you must click the timestamp of the comment you wish to reply to.

Same, it works offline, loads faster with bad mobile connection, better gestures & UX overall.

I use twitter's PWA. Not planning to ever use the proper app.

Even twitter is a PWA now — the app is redundant.
