What are the alternative HN front-ends with better discussion features?

Question

I have to admit I mostly come to HN in order to take part in discussions. Are there any sites that would let me use my HN credentials in order to let me post through them, providing a better front-end experience (i.e., sensible mobile) as well as some basic discussion features (e.g. "subscribe to this discussion")?If there's none, I imagine I could start writing one.

Maybe an extension to bystand and/or other NNTP clients might be helpful. That way, I can get the comments to be sorted in chronological order. (A protocol extension to bystand is simply a program that communicates with stdin/stdout using the NNTP protocol. I don't know if any other software than bystand supports this.)

I simply use this, but it may be too minimalist.https://github.com/plibither8/refined-hacker-news

I don't think one could use HN's credentials outside HN. There isn't a Oauth2 API or equivalent as far as I know.
