That's a perfectly fair point. I personally think HN is one of the best designed sites out there. Being extremely minimal is one of the best designs. I hope that never changes.

I built HACK specifically to be able to be notified when people reply to me. That's one of my selling points.

iOS has "unblocked" browser notifications now, hasn't it?

That’s only if hacker news decides to implement it. And based on their motto, I doubt they will.

What I mean is that you don't have to build an iOS app anymore just for notifications.

Commenting this from HACK. The default HN interface does have problems. The buttons are indeed too small. The comments indentation is a little too small. Lack of notifications. A separate page on clicking reply, etc.

I was spoiled by Apollo for Reddit and HACK has done the same thing for HN. Thank you!
