Interesting take. Fair enough.

How about you saw the comment number go up and you open and now have to scroll entire thread to find where the new comment is at.

AI or not, I'd like to read something that makes sense.

You can very well use AI to just fix your spells and grammars instead of asking it to generate something entirely from scratch.

On the contrary, someone can still ask AI to make a few grammatical errors or spelling mistakes so it "looks like" it's human written? I don't think we should go there.

Are you just saying it or read somewhere?

IMHO, Intelligence very much can and is trained.

Fair enough. But it's easy to miss replies or not know unless I re-open old posts to see if there's new replies to it, and so on.

The experience drops there for me. I once forgot to check back on a post and saw it had relevant questions about a year later.

That's actually the question. I'd not want to use a third party app if there's an official one available. Hence I'm still on browser.

Hack is also brilliant. Thanks for your work and continued maintaining it. But would you know why they never made an official mobile app?

Octal is brilliant. But it's third party. My question was why there's no official app.

Yes octal is one of best the third party apps available and quite popular. My question was why there's no official app.

Probably not. It's the same experience as the website. I've tried adding it to home screen so it opens immediately like a bookmark.

Yea, notifications can be considered annoying. but I sometimes miss replies to some posts, cause HN right now doesn't even track these.

Maybe a design decision to reduce infra load.

as PWA. That's fair actually. I forgot about that.

That's fair. I guess incentive is the key.

I'm not solving anything. Was just wondering why it doesn't exist. Cause I find it more convenient on mobile.

Mostly from discoverability and experience wise.

I'd argue in favor of it though. I understand that most folks here might not prefer it, but it does make it more accessible and convenient.

Fair enough.

That's a good point. Bad for me I guess but should be good for product, no?

I was thinking from a product standpoint, why wouldn't they want one if it increases usage.
