Ask HN: Is it possible to make HN site ‘reader view’ compatible?
I notice that I only visit reader view compatible sites on my phone, of sites that are designed for great UI on small devices.
I find HN to not be readable on my iPhone 7 (I am in my mid-60s, so maybe my demographic is not so important). There are HN apps but I avoid apps and use web versions of sites. Thanks in advance for any information.

- quickthrower2 8y agoI'd like something similar myself. I do love reader view. The problem is it's black magic trying to make a site work in reader mode. See https://www.client9.com/designing-html-for-safari-reader-mode/ https://www.client9.com/designing-html-for-safari-reader-mod.... My blog works in reader mode using a pretty much straight up HTML generated from MarkDown kind of affair, but that was a fluke.
- gnicholas 8y agoIt's not really clear how a "reader view" would work with a forum-style page. How would you envision it working?
