I had to pinch-to-zoom to upvote this comment. :-)
- zaroth 7y agoThat's a feature IMO -- HN could even make them even smaller. It should take conscious effort to vote, and the small target size mentally reinforces this model; that it's not supposed to be the most common action. EDIT: See, clearly the vote targets simply aren't small enough! </s>
- scarface74 7y agoI’ve also down voted comments by mistake...
- zaroth 7y agoThey have added an undown link a while back.
- yoz-y 7y agoBut the undown/unvote links are hard to tap on mobile as well. On firefox on android it's always an exercise in patience.
- slavik81 7y agoAdding undo changed the feel of downvotes a little. Irreversible accidental downvotes were scattered randomly on comments and they made the occasional downvote feel less harsh.
- danek 7y agoI rarely wish to click on the username or time links (“3 hours ago”), but that’s what I click on the most due to size and placement issues (when trying to vote or collapse a thread). I agree one should not blindly vote, but at the same time if you have decided to vote, it shouldn’t be maddeningly difficult and error prone to execute.
- watt 7y agoUsability-wise, isn't it kind of weird that the click target you use the most (upvote arrow) is the smallest of the three? And the ones that you use rarely or never, are so easy to hit by accident. Why must world be like this?
