Hacker News is a miserable experience on mobile. Even on desktop, the upvote/downvote buttons are needlessly small and give no confirmation; I often find myself clicking "unvote" because I wasn't sure if I upvoted or downvoted.
- DanBC 8y agoI agree with you. Partly this is because mobile browser vendors have made some really annoying decisions (zoom doesn't reflow text). But an upvote gives you an [unvote] button, a downvote gives you an [undown] button.
