Do you mind not using multiline code block quotes that split sentences in half?
Not only is it obnoxious to read on mobile, as horizontal scrolling is necessary, but it also fundamentally doesn't make sense as you should be able to copy/paste whole sentences.
One might expect that as a recruiter/(ex-?)developer you'd realize how painful it is when you use this formatting.
- peteretep 10y agoLooks much better to me, including on mobile, and is the first complaint in the 2,020 days my account has been active here, whatever "one might expect". Additionally, it will look entirely natural to any of us who used email before it was mostly HTML.
- photogrammetry 10y agoThanks for the downvote - good to know that you're not interested in improving the UX on HN.
- ethbro 10y agoWhich mobile client and do you browse in landscape? I agree with photogrammetry in that it's essentially unreadable on mobile portrait as you have to horizontally scroll each quote you want to read (then scroll back and again if it's multi-line). Shorter >'s with italics are my preference.
