As I browse HN every morning on my iPhone, I would say that's a pretty critical use case as far as I'm concerned! :-)


I'm posting this from my doctor's office using my iPhone. I also use it to check HN whenever my main computer is tied up with a lengthy operation. So yeah, I visit HN on an iPhone a lot.


OK, here's a solution I would love to see: only after so many upvotes, and only for the mobile Safari browser.

On top of this it would be nice if there were smarts that detected abuse and withheld the behavior for posts that were being upvoted mostly by a cluster of related users.


only for the mobile Safari browser

Dude! What about us Android users?


True us android users need some love too. Although I'm a little embarrassed Android hasn't fixed that problem yet. I mean it's smart enough to recognize a street address and give me 1 touch directions to that address. So I can't imagine it would be to hard to have a regex running for websites too but oh well.


Just type it in.


Could we get the parent comment back up to at least -1 karma? It's not a troll, it's just an unpopular opinion. A score of -7 should be reserved for trolling.
