HN is really bad on touch devices. Call me young and naive, but I mostly read HN on the couch on my tablet.
- Guereric 4y agoI use Hckrnews.com, which is convenient on my phone and allows me to filter posts in order to be focused with my time.
- leodriesch 4y agoI mostly read HN on my iPhone using the website with the zoom cranked up a little bit and I find it works better than the variety of native clients available.
- pmontra 4y agoI use HN half on my phone and half on my desktop. It's OK on both, I just have to zoom the upvote buttons sometimes before touching them.
- Gigachad 4y agoIt's better than the average news site but worse than if they just spent 10 minutes adding some mobile CSS. I constantly log out accidentally on mobile.
- andix 4y agoTrue. There is even a media query that can detect touch devices: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/pointer https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/poin... So they could keep the good old HN alive for PCs.
- jeltz 4y agoHN is one of the best web sites for my phone. There are some improvements they could make but I would not call being among the top 5% best mobile websites being "really bad".
