The UX is very bad on that page. You click endorse, and then you have to wait for the page to load (which takes some time, I might add). So, I get to endorse one comment at a time on that page.
Middle click doesnt really work on mobile and not at all on the various HN interface apps which people use due to HNs layout being 1990-era style and not usable at all even for reading on mobile.
Also, for the fuck of it, if I see ten good but un-endorsed comments, I have potentially ten tabs to load (hello latencies on UMTS links) and ten tabs to close! My netbook doesnt have enough pixels for the tabs, let alone RAM. Text-based browsers dont even have tabs.
The HN community may be great and all, but the technological part of it Just. Plain. Sucks.
YC is hunting for startups, and every single one of all the YC-backed companies has a better website UX than HN/YC itself. What a shame.
