Ask HN: How often do mobile users hit the wrong HN button?
I often use my phone to read HN. However, I find that it is easy to accidentally hide or flag a topic instead of clicking its link. Is this something that other people struggle with?
Relatedly, is there a mobile frontend for HN?

Prefer to use a web browser because of pinch-to-zoom features where I can just expand what I’m trying to tap when necessary.

I suppose I could use custom css or increase the font size, but I have good eyesight and like the information density. It’s always a crapshoot as to whether I can hit the teeny tiny touch target.
