Am I the only one in the world who enjoys reading on a phone? And who likes to zoom in to see pictures? Or, in this case, to read?
And am I the only one who despises sites that lock the scale so that users can't zoom in on mobile devices?
Please, content creators, setting initial-scale is fine, but for the love of pixels, don't lock the scaling to 1.0; let us mobile readers enjoy the fruits of your labor!
