Completely agree on this! I went scrolling for a 'Desktop view' link at the top/bottom, or somewhere in my settings that would flip it back, but I'm unable to find it.

I actually relied on the desktop view on my iOS device when any of the other third-party HN mobile views weren't quite getting me what I needed.

Loss of this view (without having to rely on a third-party App Store app that allows overriding the UserAgent) is rather saddening.
