No it doesn't, HN literally sucks on mobile. From the top of my head:
- On the front page I always click the stories title when I want to click on the "xxx comments" link
- When reading comments, it's impossible to use the tiny [-] buttons to collapse threads
- "code" blocks are still broken
- buboard 7y agoi agree about the typography but that wouldn't be fixed if the site was responsive
- 29083011397778 7y agoThe first two are some of the best things about browsing the site on a BlackBerry with Firefox and Vimium: clicking links are only a keyboard shortcut away. Same goes for sites that don't scale nicely and have interfaces designed for desktop. "Clicking" links is always easy.
