Why can’t I view GitHub on mobile without having to sign in to the app. I don’t want to sign in to the app; I don’t remember my password; I can’t be bothered to authenticate. Bad UX.

Uninstall the app? Sounds rather useless when you don't log in to it.

I don't have an app (why would I want an app? I can't imagine pushing changes from my phone), it let me on just fine.

I did my share of PR reviews from a phone using FastHub-Libre [1] :-) No code changes, although I've fixed a typo in README once I think.

For me the main point of the app is having a nicer interface to discussions and getting notifications.

OctoDroid[1] letsyou do most of things you would expect to on GitHub in a browser without logging in and always seems quicler than using website to me.

I agree it's annoying, but you can open links in another tab from the long-press option menu in nearly every mobile browser instead of using app-urls.

And if you do this on iOS, it remembers it for the next time you click a link for that domain, so you can stop apps automatically opening links. Was delighted when I found that as for some things (e.g. Amazon) the app is occasionally useful but I don’t want every Amazon link to open in it

that's a good tip, thank you
