Website is unfortunately unusable on mobile. The decided to disable zoom, and the right side of the tree font size is about 2px high. I've got good eyes but no amount of squinting is going to make that happen.

I can zoom in on the diagram fine on iOS 12.2 Safari (just another data point).

    I have an iPhone SE with Safari, and it works.

      My goodness, you're right, I was using Chrome blush Zooming is working for me in iOS Safari as well.

  It, interestingly, is browser specific. Safari can zoom, chrome can't. I've been annoyed by chrome's zoom behavior, so this is a delightful find. Thanks!

    Safari ignores directives by the website to disable zoom. Lots of site owners disable zoom because they think they know best when it comes to content-size. Disabling zoom also makes the site slightly more responsive because when a touch occurs, the browser doesn't have to wait a few hundred milliseconds to see if a 2nd finger is going to be touched to start a zoom action.

Yep, as of iOS 10 https://webkit.org/blog/7367/new-interaction-behaviors-in-ios-10/ https://webkit.org/blog/7367/new-interaction-behaviors-in-io... And thank god for that, there were so many sites that disabled zoom for seemingly no reason, and somehow it was always the ones with tiny text or images.

  Android Chrome can't zoom at all (anywhere on site, or on chart).

    Settings > Accessibility > Force enable zoom

    You can if you turn on the "desktop site" option (in the menu in the top right). I believe this works for all sites.

    You can force enable zoom on all pages in accessibility settings

Workaround: you can click the 3 dots to the left of the chart to download a PNG file and then zoom in (but then of course it's not clickable).

This website is a blank white screen on desktop for me. Perhaps the author can display some partial reason why I should enable JS on this particular domain?

  "To render the diagram" is a pretty good reason.

    How am I meant to know that from a white screen? Complain on HN?

  Because it's a webside dedicated to writing interactive data-visualizations with tools like d3.js with an iPython-style notebook interface. Programmability is the whole point.

    Are you claiming that absolutely no content is possible to show here without js enabled? Not even a sentence like yours? I wouldn't have had a clue without asking. It's basic web courtesy.

In chrome Android click the checkbox under the 3 dots menu labeled "Desktop site". Pinch to zoom works then.

Thanks for this feedback. Yet, there is little I can fix. It is in ObservableHQ (http://observablehq.com/ http://observablehq.com/), with all of its pros and cons.
